Home Sick

So for the first time in years... I am at home sick instead of being in the office at work.

Oddly enough, I didn't do that the right way. I got up, showered, got dressed, and headed into the office. I made it all of an hour before I had to leave and go home. The weirdest thing it, it wasn't the feeling bad that drove me to go home. It's that every time I tried to talk I started coughing. As long as I wasn't saying anything I was fine, but the second a conversation began I just could not stop coughing. Painful coughing, at that. Like the kind that just makes your eyes start watering no matter how hard you fight it.

So I told my boss I was leaving, and headed home.

Time to get ready and drive to the office: 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Time at the office: 1 hour.

Time spent driving home: 30 minutes.

Now I get why people just call in the morning. That was one serious waste of time and resources.

So I get home and immediately attempt to sleep it off. Not happening. I am one of those people that doesn't nap a whole lot, and so resting to kill off the cold isn't going to happen. Just drinking tea and taking care of all the things around the house that I knew I had to get done. Not talking to anyone at all. :-) I don't want to start coughing again.
