sick day
Well, according to the quick in-office test, I don't have strep. I do have some nasty allergy complications, and my head still feels like it's stuffed full of cotton, so I've taken the whole day off of work. All that means, of course, is that I'm spending my day doing laundry and washing dishes in between bouts of feeling sorry for myself. At least it's a nice, sunny day, so I can feel sorry for myself while enjoying the weather through the windows. If I can unstuff my head a little (and, really, it feels like feverish stuffiness, not nasal/sinus stuffiness, but try telling that to the therometer that insists that I'm just fine), I'll venture out again for lunch...may as well take advantage of my proximity to shwarma, y'know?
Interesting discovery of the morning: J.P. Licks now has wasabi ice cream. No, I haven't tried it yet. I suppose I could get that instead of the shwarma, but it's probably less filling (and less spicy, the way I order my shwarma). If this is all just really bad allergies, then spicy is good, right? I'll save the ice cream sampling for Saturday night.
Sorry about the sick. Mendel and I both had strep a couple of weeks ago. Yucky yucky. I hate taking sick days too, because it seems like such a... a... a sign of weakness. I've only taken one since starting current job and feel very righteous about this. Of course, the truth is that as long as I can stand, it's easier to sit at my desk than chase the baby around the house...
Sorry that you are sick. :( I hope it's not the New Haven germs that got you sick (or the New Haven allergens, which are very bad). Feel better and Shabbat shalom!!
so, how was the wasabi icecream?
i nipped my approaching allergies/sickness (who knows with fibro) off with some super peppery chicken (oops, guess who's hand slipped) and LOTS of sleep.
hope you're feeling better.
I hope you're feeling better.
Am I the only one with no clue what wasabi ice cream is?
