A recap: after having felt like crud yesterday, going home for four hours, then returning to work, then only to teach, climb at the rock gym for 1.5 hours, run on the elliptical for .5 hours and then make dinner and do laundry, I was feeling… ok. Although extremely exhausted.

So when I awoke this morning, the plan was to feel well. But I didn’t. I knew as soon as the alarm went off that I was going to call in. It was almost subconscious; I just did it then went back to sleep until about 9:45 when I naturally awoke. I have a confession: I made pancakes. I have been craving pancakes for about two weeks now. They were yummy but probably not what a semi-sick person ought to eat. I got up and ready and parked at abnbout 11:05. So I made decent time and now I am in my office, window open, working on a grad assistant database. I’m feeling alright; my head is pretty stuffy and my body aches but I don’t feel completely out of it.

I’m sort of surprised that it’s thursday already. The week is going by pretty quickly. Soon it will be lovely Saturday and I can have some fun – hopefully I will be well by then.
