Day 1 was like a mild head cold. Day 2 was a brutal headache and joint pain. Day 3 is the continuation of the headache and the addition of an upset stomach. So no, I did not go to work today. I slept until about 11, making it 40 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. And no I don’t feel any better.
But I do like the day off work, lounging around in my robe. I have a busy day planned, including all the things that make me feel better on a crappy day:
- ginger ale, preferably Schweppes
- Goody’s Headache Powders – many thanks again to Special K and Otis for keeping me supplied with this magical wondrous white powder.
- movies to veg out to: Cleopatra, Kill Bill 1 and 2 and The Fifth Element
- a trashy novel. Luckily I keep a stash purchased from the thrift store for just these occasions. today feels like a re-read kind of day, maybe the Thornbirds.
- a bubble bath with the expensive bubbles. The cheap stuff will not do at times like these.
- the constant companionship of my sock monkey, Rosebutt, and the stupidest cat in the world. Well not constant…neither wishes to join me in the bath.
- working on a knitting project with the nice expensive yarn that feels like buttah as it slides through my fingers.
- more naps.
Man, that’s a busy day. I better get on it if I want to fit it all in.

Geez, I hope you feel better soon. I’ll have some of OhCountess’ chicken dumpling soup in your honor.
Kill Bill rocks.
