• I'm sick *whine*.

  I spent the better part of today in bed. I started feeling bd the night before last. About 6:30 I started feeling a little odd, by 7 p.m., I felt awful. I took the last dose of  NyQuil I had in the house and went to bed around 9 p.m.

  Yesterday morning, I got up and went to work. I warned everyone I wasn't feeling well and stayed back in my office most of the day. I took off for a couple hours in the morning to buy some groceries, including replenishing my NyQuil stock. I asked the pharmacist for the NyQuil with the old kick in it. She brought me out their store brand, which is fine, and I went with it. I also bought some Tylenol Cold Daytime. I took a couple shots of it during the day and it got me through until about 4 p.m. I still didn't get out of there until after 5 p.m. because people kept needing things. I ate supper at home, took another shot of NyQuil (of the store equivalent) and was in bed by 8:30 p.m. I woke up this morning when someone called shortly after 7 a.m.

  I felt like death warmed over today. I stayed home from work. I'm thankful that I have enough employees now that I could, but if two of us end up sick at one time, we'll be in a pinch. I slept most of the day. I stayed up for a couple hours this morning watching "Charmed" before I started falling asleep again in the chair. I was back in bed by 9:30 and the phone rang shortly thereafter. It was someone from work. The newspaper was looking for the OK on a co-op ad. I gave instructions for how to handle it and went back to sleep until 1 or 1:30. I sat up for not quite an hour watching some show on the History Channel about the books banned from the Bible. That was kinda interesting, but not interesting enough to keep me awake. I went back to bed and woke up about 4:45. I called to check on the status with the co-op ad, since it was past the deadline for the paper to get it into print. Turns out we never did get approval on it from the company. Our rep told one of my employees today that their ad department doesn't just sit around waiting to approve ads. I thought that was kind of rude. See if I bother screwing with your co-op money anymore if that's how you are going to treat us.

  John is still at work trying to get a couple computers built before Christmas. I am going to see what I can scrounge for supper. I do feel a lot better, though not 100%. Hopefully, I'll be able to function at work tomorrow.
