I Hate Being Sick

I woke up this morning and felt worse than I did last night, even though I got 10 hours of sleep.  Luckily I don’t have a fever, but it’s just miserable to have a non-stop runny nose even after taking some decongestants.  Today was the first day I just dropped Autumn off in the drop off line instead of walking her into school.  She was a little apprehensive at first, but I watched her walk in to the school and she did just fine.

Work today was super stressful b/c I got blamed for some products that were ordered wrong and shipped to the wrong address when I wasn’t even the one who ordered them.  Then, I was asked to order some cabinets that we need ASAP, and we don’t even have an account set up, and I have no idea what part #’s I need to order.  That would have stressed me out on a normal day, but on a day when I feel like crap it just was almost too much.  I went in the bathroom and had a good cry, bucked up, figured it out, and got the cabinets ordered.  The phones didn’t ring for 2 hours and I felt horrible, so I asked if I could go home an hour early.

I stopped and got a Little Caesar’s pizza & crazy bread on the way home b/c I was not up to cooking dinner.  As you can see, Autumn didn’t mind at all.

I spent the rest of the evening just laying on the couch watching TV, blowing my nose, and sucking on throat lozenges.  I heard it start raining and told Autumn she could go outside to play in the rain if she wanted.  She did and had fun running around in the backyard.  It was a torrential downpour type rain, but she still had fun.  I gave her a shower, put her to bed, watched Project Runway (I’m so glad they didn’t send Gunner home), and then put myself to bed.
