At home in bed

Well, it’s 10:15 a.m. and I’m at home in bed. I woke up around 3:30 freezing and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I was doing my best to stay still and not stir too much so Laurie wouldn’t wake up. I guess that didn’t work too well because she woke up around 4 a.m. and couldn’t fall back asleep.
When I finally got up I just felt horrible. My neck and back were aching, I had a cough, sinus pressure and more.
Of course my life, being the medical professional she is, took my temperature and told me to stay home. I tried to fight it and got ready to head to Bible study but after a trip up and down the stairs I was wiped out.
So, four hours later, I’m in bed and I think my fever broke. It’s 98.5 now. So what do you do when you’ve called in sick and four hours later you’re feeling better?
I guess I’ll follow doctors orders and stay in bed. But I’m really hoping I can convince her later tonight that I’m still OK for date night.
We have date night every Wednesday night and I’ve enjoyed each one.
I’m gonna feel worse if I start feeling bad again and can’t take her out tonight.
Anyways, that’s what I’m doing today. I may make some changes/updates to the new Casa de Blundell website. And I may research ways to teach your dog not to bark without using a shock collar.
Otherwise – its me at home in bed, the rest of the day.

One thought on “At home in bed”

  1. what normal people do when they call in sick is they STAY IN BED! Even if they feel better…your body is telling you “hey, what’s going on…give me sleep” so you better listen to it and stay in bed…sleep, I would die for that right now! That way you get better faster and don’t push yourself to where you have to stay home another day when you don’t have paid time off. haha
