Ugh. I feel so gross right now. Oh sure, I talk about wishing to be sick to stay home from work. Careful what you wish for, eh? I was already feeling rotten on Friday. Over the weekend, the problem just got worse. I was coughing like mad and blowing out infected mucus. Pleasant! I’ve been on drugstore meds since Friday trying to make improvements. On Sunday, I decided that even though I was kind of off, I wanted to run. I was taking a “no excuses” stance on the whole thing, so I forced myself out there. The run was harder than I thought it would be. Sure, in retrospect I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I was. When I got home, I felt more worn out than I should have been. That’s when the sickness really took hold. Smart move, eh?
This morning, I had a mild fever, and when I coughed I tasted phlegm. I emailed my manager and told him that I’d be taking a sick day. I’ve been lying in bed for most of the day, just getting rest.
In the past, I’ve spoken about having robust health and not getting sick all that easily. That may have been true in the past, but not anymore. I’m not invincible.
