Sickness - Day 2

So here we are, Day 2 of Flu Watch, Australia newest, least compelling spectator experience. More accurately it should probably be called Cold Watch, since I don't actually have the flu, but that doesn't sound as dramatic.

Looking like I feel

To add an extra level of interest to this episode of Flu Watch, I am actually at work today. Hooray, first day back at work for the year and I get to be sick to make it extra fun. Winning.

Wait!!! I hear you say, are you being sick at work? Yes gentle reader, today I am one of THOSE people. Those really annoying people who are clearly unwell but insist on coming into work anyway and sharing the love with everyone else. I usually really dislike those people, but today I join their ranks. My defense is that I had a couple of meetings that simply couldn't be put off, but then again I would say that wouldn't I.

Geez people who come into work sick annoy me so much.

Frustratingly I didn't really think I was that sick when I came into the office today. It was one of those classic morning's when I woke up feeling okay(ish) and pretty sure I would be fine for a day in the office. It wasn't until I got here though that I realised I had made a terrible, terrible mistake. Sinuses stuffed, head foggy, feeling generally beige I have struggled with the day. Needless to say in the two meetings I had to be here for I was a little ornamental, although for the second one I managed to take enough drugs to make coherent thought a possibility.

I was hoping to train today, but given how I feel (and that it is currently a bajillion degrees outside) I think I will be giving it a miss again this afternoon. I will take it easy tonight and perhaps try again in the morning, see if the body is up for a spin on the trainer. Despite how I am feeling, I am actually feeling a heap better (86.4% better by my estimate) than I was yesterday. The improvement I had from yesterday to today makes me hopeful that I might improve enough by tomorrow to make training realistic. No big stress about getting back, as I said yesterday I am more than happy to take the time I need to get healthy, I am not going to rush back before I am well. Just annoying being sick. Pretty sure nobody enjoys that.

Now if you don't mind, now that my meetings are done, I am going to go home and be miserable there instead.
