Day 2

I’m on Day 2 of my sick leave. Stream of consciousness typing here folks, so please bear with me.

It’s raining outside and a cool breeze is wafting into the room. My girls have fallen asleep so I sneaked out of the bed to work a little bit.

I am feeling better today. I think my body has adjusted to the meds and I’m not feeling as woozy as I did yesterday. I still cough every now and then. Thankfully, my phlegm has been clear which I think is a good sign that I’m getting better. My nose is clogged all the time though.

I’m gearing myself up for the check up tomorrow. I’m quite sure the meds will have taken their full effect by tomorrow and the doctor will give me a clean bill of health. She has to. I have a race this Saturday, my first 5k, and I want to be there.

I haven’t trained a single bit so I’m doing all the running practice in my head. Hopefully, I can run a bit on Friday and feel well enough to carbo load. I haven’t been eating much, when I cough I tend to vomit sometimes and it doesn’t feel good.

Though it’s one of the crazy upsides about getting sick. Since I can’t eat much, I lost a little weight. My stomach shrunk a little bit the last time I checked. For people who are wondering how to lose weight fast: getting sick is it. But I won’t wish this on anybody. It’s no fun to eat chocolate and not be able to taste it, or throw it up after a few minutes.

Anyway, I like being home. I’m thinking of where to set up my mini office for when I start working from home. Next year. Which reminds me, I gotta get back to work so I can make that happen.
