Ugh...

Not dead - just feel that way.

Actually, today (or at least, this afternoon), I don't feel quite so bad. It's been the original cold from hell, though. It came on over the course of Sunday evening - all the warning I got was a slightly sore throat at about 7pm. By 10pmish, when I went to bed, I was starting to feel as if my skin ached. By the following morning my face and joints ached but, because we're crazy busy, I went into work. My boss ended up sending me home early - and I went straight to bed and didn't (couldn't) move for nearly 24 hours, alternating between shivering under a doubled blanket and a thick duvet and sweating under just a sheet. Yech. By this morning, the face ache had gone and the joint ache had gone, I just felt completely exhausted. And now, I just feel a little tired - and I'm developing a deeeeeelightful tendancy to hack up a lung if someone so much as makes me *think* about laughing.

But, I shall be in work tomorrow. Because frankly? Being sick sucks - and being stuck in bed sucks even worse. And basically, that I'm OK enough to be sitting in front of THIS computer means I'm OK enough to be sitting in front of the computer at work and being productive.

*hugs* that sounds like a rotten cold. I suppose if you are feeling like doing something you will be better off being *distcacted*. However, just don't do too much. You don't want to find yourself sent home again because you have returned too early!

Hope you feel lots better very very soon.

As my boss isn't in tomorrow, unless I'm dying, I've almost got to be in.

And you're right, I will be better off with something to do - I really don't *do* inactivity well. Though heaven help any clients who ring up with convoluted issues tomorrow!

Apart from the 'minor' issue that I've got next to no voice today (which should make answering the phone interesting!) and a tendancy to cough up a lung periodically, I'm much better. *hugs back carefully to avoid sharing germs*

Well remember you have a limited number of lungs to cough up, so be careful with that ;) *hugs again*
