So I ended up leaving work early last Thursday and calling in sick on Friday. Got the sleep on, drank the tea, the orange juice and Sprite combo. Lots of heating water in a mug and inhaling the steam. That felt good. Some use of a heating pad on the forehead and face to reduce the sinus headaches. Not an enjoyable sick day, but spent pretty much on the couch. Actually, didn't leave the building from Thursday evening to Monday morning. Tracy joined me for the weekend though. That was nice. She had a craving for Salisbury Steak, so had some of that and some potatoes au gratin, and a pretty nice green pea cold salad with Bacos. She also brought over some chicken soup too. Saturday night we had chicken and dumplings. Sunday we got some Mediterranean from Sinbad's through GrubHub.com. Spent most of the time watching TV, napping. Although we did get fed up enough that we started up a 1000pc jigsaw puzzle I had. It's really hard. Managed to get an iChat in with my family Sunday night, which was pretty cool. Feeling much better, still got a little bit of a residual cough and hacking, but it should be going away, as long as I get my sleep.
