I'm sure you all recall me whining about being sick last weekend. I cancelled almost all my fun plans, and then got better in time to show up at work on Monday. *sigh* But you know, things happen. There was no sense in being bitter.
Until I got sick again this weekend. (Some kind of virus, I think.) Now I'm bitter. Getting sick every weekend is not cool.
And although I complained about getting well just in time to go back to work last week, feeling that it was a rather cruel joke by Mother Nature, I do wish I had gotten well that quickly this time. I am getting bored, peoples. I have a very active and curious mind. Lying on the couch watching TV, dozing, and sweating is staring to wear pretty thin.
I did try to go to work this morning. The fever was gone. I got myself up, showered, groomed and dressed. I was feeling a mite shaky, so I called a cab instead of hiking off to the bus stop. After being in the car for a few minutes, I started feeling shakier. I decided to tough it out. Halfway there I felt worse. My pulse was hammering and I wanted to lie down. I told myself it would pass. Three quarters of the way there, I asked the cabbie to turn around and take me home again. Work attempt FAIL! The round trip cost me $28 in cab fare, and some of my dignity.
When I got home I crawled back into my fleecy pj's and fell asleep on the couch for most of the day.
I think I won't try again until Wednesday.

Bummer.... get some rest and I hope you feel much better by Wednesday.
boooooo!!! go away sickness!!!
Although fleecy jammies do sound kind of tempting right about now.
I'm sorry you're feeling so poorly again hon. I'll be praying!
I'm so sorry; I know just how you feel. Stay home until you can go out on your own steam.
Thanks guys and gals! A dose of sincere sympathy is the best medicine I could ask for. It's a tonic to my spirits.
I bet the cab driver was pissed off with you even if they did get payed!
Get well soon matie!
Blech. I say stay home until Thursday! Maybe you can trick your body into thinking Saturday is Wednesday and then not get sick again until Monday. :-)
Fortunately the cabbie was a nice, soft-spoken man. He wished me well, and I gave him a good tip.
Jenski, I am too spaced out to understand your complex plan, but perhaps my mind will take it in subconsciously, now that I've read it. ;-)
Oh no! how crappy. It's disappointing to make plans and then have to back out in the middle of carrying them out, even if you do get a day off from work in the process. get well soon.
Bless your heart! I hope you are better quickly.
Well that really stinks..hope you get well soon...get some rest...zman sends
