Blech.
I do not feel well today. Not at all. The tips of my fingers hurt and my hair feels funny.
I had a post for you, but I cannot edit it. The words run together, they make no sense. I am sure that’s due to how blech I feel, and not due to very poor writing. Either way, I cannot hit the “publish” button.
So no post for you today. I’ll be back tomorrow, because there is no way I’m going to feel this gross for more than one day. That would be completely unacceptable.
Okay – I can’t help myself. Even as I battle nausea and the ickies, a technical term, I’m sure, I have to wonder about something. You might as well wonder with me.
Do you have any stories of powering through illness to get work done? Did you go to the office only to have things end badly? Or hilariously?
Also, if you’re a parent I know you have powered through some really gross days. Because you don’t have a choice. I wonder, what are your tips and tricks for surviving the day when all you want to do is Go. To. Bed.?

@gigi, I would like to say I didn’t spend the day glued to the TV, but that would be a lie. I watched a lot of trash TV.
i would love to know more about the funny feeling hair. you know, once you feel better.

@liz, You mean your hair doesn’t feel funny when you’re sick?!
I totally agree with “cartoons”. I have a vague recollection of ALOT of Lazy Town a few years ago during Christmas Break when I had Strep and wanted to die.

@kimmie, Oh, strep as an adult is a nightmare. I definitely TV-medicated yesterday. My eyes are buggy today!
Sometimes taking a nice walk outside, or letting the kids run around in the backyard (if you have one, which we don’t) can really make the time go by fast. Of course, if you can’t move around that makes things a bit difficult. Have you tried chocolate? : )
@Amber, I was a total slug yesterday and thankfully the boys weren’t too out of control. My husband got father of the year and came home to entertain them in the afternoon. Thank goodness!
“I wonder, what are your tips and tricks for surviving the day when all you want to do is Go. To. Bed.?”
Do something really nice for the wife, then bat my eyes & say, “Honey, could I take a nap please?”
