Sicky and bitchy

Jim has been sick off and on for about 2 months, the kids have traded what seems to be the same cold back and forth and back again in the about the same amount of time. I thought I had gotten away without getting sick, but the inevitable started happening on Sunday: I felt it. Pain in my chest and back. I tried to tell myself I was just tired from the double shift that day. Then on Monday admin proved to be more torture than the norm as I felt my head pound and my eyes cross in front of the computer screen. Tuesday was to be a district meeting, and an important one as it as the first meeting with the realigned team. Even though I spent Monday night hacking and wheezing, I was actually looking forward to it, pink elephants and all. But then at 3am, I woke up having trouble breathing and a FEVER. I as like, really? A fever to top it all off? What the hell. At 5:45am, I came to finally came to terms with the fact that I am indeed sick and called up the boss to let him know I wasn't going to make it to the meeting. I went back to bed, pissed, burning up, miserable and worried that I had upset my new boss.

I missed post-district meeting cocktails. :(   I haven't felt any better today. I am super bitchy when I'm sick. My biggest issue is that I get really bored with laying around "resting". Yes, I know that is the point, but still. I have stuff to do. People to see, business to handle. I don't have time to be sick. I rearranged my schedule this week so I don't have to go back in until Friday. Hopefully I can shake this in the next 36 hours so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed for when the boss shows up all like, what the fuck. Hopefully.
