Down For The Count
Posted by Prairierose on Feb 22, 2009I wasn’t needing any weight loss pills this weekend. I had very little desire to eat anything. It started with a scratchy throat on Thursday, and a full fledge chest cold complete with a fever by Friday night. I haven’t eaten much more than a few popcicles, which soothed the throat, and drank lots of water. Its been a long time since I’ve been sick, so I guess I was due. And, I didn’t really stand a chance not picking up the bug. Ethan had it a couple of weeks ago, and David and our boss had it last week. It was only a matter of time before I was going to get it. And sure enough, just like clockwork, the symptoms set in and I was down for the count. At least most of it was over the weekend, and hopefully, I’ll feel up to going to work tomorrow. Ethan was out for a week of school, and David, who has never missed a day of work, regardless of how he has felt, didn’t go to work one day. He does have to keep 15 trucks rolling down the road, so he didn’t stay in bed — he did what he had to do from his computer here at home. But, he was also able to sleep and just feel as miserable as he wanted to between phone calls and finding loads. Its a nasty bug, but does seem to run its course fairly quickly.
