Sick and bummed out

[Dela]

Hey there,

Just sitting here sick with a cold for the past 3 days. I really hope I start to improve by tomorrow. I have over 22 people coming for Thanksgiving, and even took off all next week for a much needed vacation from work and to make Thanksgiving prep less stressful.

I was looking forward to having the time finally for some nice long workouts, now I just need to find the energy to prep the house and start the shopping.

Oh well, I'm sure it will all work out, it has to, just felt like whining a little.

I'll join you, Dela, because I'm sick too and have people coming over next Thursday that I need to cook for!! And I wanted to get in an extended workout this morning because it's the weekend!!

So today was *supposed* to be clean the house top to bottom, hide the junk day. But, due to a headache, swollen tonsils, and exhaustion, it's been more just "sit like a slug, take Zicam and drink water day." BLAH.

That's exactly what today turned into! I did start to clear out my dining room (well, the gym formerly known as dining room), but could not get too far with that.

I will join in your misery, but for a totally self-imposed reason... can you say Apple Martini X 5??? UGH! I NEVER drink but a small group from work decided to start a monthly Happy Hour get together and I felt compelled to show my solidarity and team spirit by joining in the... uh.... ummm... libations?! my sides hurt from laughing so hard... can that be considered an AB workout? cuz I was in no shape to do any substitution for Low Max from the November rotation! If there were the little GREEN smiley, I would have inserted that one a few times... I got home and stopped the churning in my stomach... won't go into great deal of detail... but couldn't take my Ambien because of the inebriation... so besides the bed spinning uncontrollably, I didn't sleep either... I've had a headache and body aches all day... so, my point is, that while I can not empathize with you, I most certainly sympathize!!! I hope you are all feeling better soon!

Hugz to you!

Oh Dani, that stinks! I'm sorry, I hate that feeling. You sound exactly like me! I can't handle much alcohol at all, just a little bit makes me feel like crap the next day and I also need ambien to sleep, that's just the worst to feel like that AND not be able to sleep.

HEE HEE... Dela, you are much more deserving of sympathy! At least you do not have a choice to get sick... I can't say the same for my situation

hang in there... you will soon regain your dining room, even if only temporarily! What a sacrifice! I hope the guests appreciate it!
