Ugh!

"Do you feel stuffy and puffy and thick in the head? Do you long for your jammies and wish for your bed?"

Anyone remember that corporate slogan? I can't remember if it was Sudafed or Sinutab back in the early nineties, but I liked it and haven't forgotten it. My reason for quoting it today is... I have a horrible head cold. I began to feel really poorly Thursday afternoon at work. That same day, over 5 people went home early due to illness, and several I talked to were seriously considering not coming in on Friday. I decided that I couldn't afford to take Friday off, but boy, do I wish I had! I don't remember much of the day, everything was kinda foggy, but I do remember the incredible pain in my left sinus cavities! I'm taking today and tomorrow to relax and try to get as much rest as I can. I fully plan on being back at work on Monday. Until I've worked 6 months there, I don't get paid sick days, so I plan on working as much as I can, even if I'm not feeling the greatest.

My daughters are off to a friend's birthday party at the local "Glow-in-the-Dark" mini-golf centre, and despite my cold, I've been delegated the chauffeur for the day. Should be fun with my less-than-perfect reflexes!

Hope you have a great weekend, everyone!
