Got up this morning and felt like crap. I've had a stubborn cold for a couple of weeks now. I will wake up with a sore throat and congestion. It's just been hanging on. This morning, I woke up with the usual symptoms, along with nausea. There was a weird pain in my stomach. I ate a bowl of oatmeal to see if that would settle my stomach. No go. Pain still there. Since we were out of toast, I decided to try a plain bagel. That may have been a mistake. The pain got worse. Debated whether to call in sick. But, there is no one there who can cover for me. So, I drove into work. By the time I got there, I figured I will try to just put in half a day. Get the essentials done. But, when I started, I really felt like I was going to vomit. The usual smells, which normally don't bother me, were making me ill. I took the day off and came home. I've managed to sip down a Sprite. That's about the only thing that sounded any good. I am feeling a little dizzy. I'm not running a fever, so I am thinking it could be because I haven't had anything to eat all day. I'm going to try to eat a bowl on New England Clam Chowder. That's about the only thing that sounds good right now. Since I'm home though, I've got some thing accomplished. I pulled the covers off the the futon pillows. I also pulled the cover off of the futon mattress and threw them in the wash. I pulled the futon frame away from the wall so I can vacuum the carpet underneath where the vacuum doesn't usually reach. There is a ton of dog hair there. I hope this is a one day thing. I probably should take it easy, but it's hard for me to sit around and do nothing. I feel like I should be working because that's what I do during the week.
