To health and euphoria!

"That's the difference between me and the rest of the world...happiness isn't good enough for me, I demand euphoria!" -Calvin

Friday's are the best...right? They're supposed to be...you know right before the big weekend your itching to get outta the office and have some fun! That's why it was so depressing to go home after work not feeling so hot. By 7 p.m. I could tell the bug was trying to get me. So I put the humidifier in my room and crawled under my down comforter to see if I could outsleep the bug before it caught me. It was to no avail...I got a fever of 103F and couldn't sleep and couldn't breathe very well with my sore throat. I'm not one that usually takes drugs, but I finally gave in at midnight and took some tylenol for the fever hoping I could get some sleep. The drugs helped with the fever, but not the sleeping. Saturday was similar...instead of in bed I spent most of the day in the recliner in the sunshine. The blessed sunshine. Of course that was the day it was 65F out, sigh. I'm sooo excited for spring...I can feel it in the air some days. By Saturday night I'd lost 5 lbs. Perfect weight loss program...NOT RECOMMENDED! Besides I'm sure it was all water weight anyway. Saturday night I got in a fight with my bed. We're still mad at each other. I woke up every 20 minutes...no exaggerating! It was awful...I'd feel like I slept for a good while and would check the clock and just a few minutes had gone by...this kept happening all night. I just couldn't get comfortable. So by Sunday morning I'd had it. My fever was still running high and my throat was worse. I downed some nyquil and had the most heavenly 2-hour sleep. Needless to say I lounged around all day Sunday. I even missed Melanie's enchilada dinner, sadness :( I knew I had to go to work Monday to do payroll to keep the employees happy (me included :) So being somewhat "fuzzy" I drove to work and puttered around there for a couple of hours. That wore me out and so I went back home and slept til this morning! Today I'm feeling great...I have a barking cough and my ears won't pop, but there's not fever or achy muscles, and energy levels seem to be on the rise, woot woot! This whole weekend made me so thankful for my health, and friends. I feel so blessed. George and Sara were so good, taking care of me...making me drinks and rubbing my back. To health and euphoria!
