I'm back at work, catching up and getting back into the swing of things. I'm feeling somewhat better--Saturday night I took a turn for the worse, and last night I really didn't know if I'd be able to make it today, but I woke up this morning feeling--not good, but tolerably well enough to put in a day at the office. Thankfully I only have to put in three of them this week. Also thankful that I managed to put off getting sick until I was firmly ensconced in a real job with paid sick leave and good insurance. That's a pretty good start to my gratitude list for Thursday. Hopefully I'll be back to normal by then.
Things I neglected while I was out (and at times out cold): Laundry, taking out the trash, my sister's birthday. Things I rocked at: sleeping, knitting, hacking up yellow goo, watching TV. I did manage to get a bit more writing done on Saturday, too--most of a short chapter that I hope to finish and post before I go home today.
It should also be noted that my husband rocked the caregiver role, dutifully bringing me soup and liquids and making sure the pets were watered and fed (a job that typically falls to me, seeing as transporting water and food bowls or whatnot is kind of hard when your hands are occupied with crutches) and taking naps with me when I wanted company and leaving me alone when I didn't, and generally doing his best to keep me cheered up. I married a good guy.
