Sick Day

The girlies have been passing around a stomach bug since we got back from St. Louis, and it finally landed on me.  I was feeling queasy and left work early yesterday after handing in my part of a brief that we were filing that day, and thank goodness I did because I was in sad shape by late afternoon.

I awoke this morning, unsure of how I felt, but hopped in the shower hoping to wash away the sickness and head in for a 9:00 am  client meeting.  By the time I got out of the shower I managed to convince myself that I didn't need to go into the office or spread my germs to our out-of-town client, so I texted Big Boss to share the happy news.

I snoozed throughout the morning and finally managed some hot tea and crackers, which perked me up a bit. I never take a sick day, and I'm feeling a bit guilty about being home now that I'm starting to feel better.  I really need to get over this work guilt thing. Especially since I really don't have anything pressing to deal with.

I've spent my day watching a Who's the Boss marathon that's been saved on my DVR.  That show is my comfort food. DH makes fun of me for watching it, but I don't care.  I totally wanted to go live with Tony and Angela when I was a kid, and I love seeing all the retro reminders.

I'm also planning an end of the year party for SS and TT.  This is their last year of elementary school, and I think that's worthy of a party--especially since many of the kids they've gone to school with for the past 7 years will be moving away or going to a different middle school.  But, really, any excuse for a party.  I LOVE party planning.  So I've spent a big chunk of my day searching out party ideas.  Whatever did we do before Pinterest?

I don't know when I've spent so much time lying around.  I almost miss work. I'm definitely stir crazy, but since I'm concerned I'm still infectious I guess I'll keep my germs at home to myself.
