sick day. (for real, bah!)

i’m sick!  i can’t believe it! i have a really bad cold and can’t breath.  Don’t worry blog sister, i don’t think i caught it from you.  it started coming on yesterday afternoon with the sneezes and i was on my way to cold/flu hell.  when i got home, i did an hour on the elliptical hoping to sweat it out.  didn’t work.  by the time the Brit got home,  i was whiney and in full “feel-sorry-for-me” mode. despite my overabundance of snot, sore throat, incessant sneezing, and hacking cough,  i was still bound and determined to make it into work today.  i had a meeting i had already cancelled once (because i wanted to go home early) and i felt bad having to cancel again.  at 11.30pm last night and gave in. i called my manager in sydney i was too sick to come in but i would make it in at 4 to run the meeting (trying to score points with the boss man).  he told me not to worry and to stay home.  SCORE!

i wanted the Brit to stay home and cook me a lovely vegan breakfast but he has this work ethic thing and left me to my own devices.  i cooked myself a fake sausage and fake bacon and a hash brown and settled down for some really bad tv with my box of kleenex. but i was bored! 

how horrible is daytime tv?  the choices are reality shows about why having babies is so great on TLC,  young and the restless, cricket, hallmark movie called “my first time” (wtf?  i looked at the write up, it’s not about what i thought.  lame!), various jerry springer-esque type shows, and that twat jamie oliver cooking up olives and saying “do you know what i mean?” every two seconds.  ick. Law and Order was a rerun and no good movies were on so i thought i’d blog.  so here i am. doing a bit of housekeeping (i can’t disappoint my loyal readers) before i play paper mario on the wii.  i want to finish the game so i can show the Brit all that i accomplished despite being near death.  i’m watching the time though because Clueless is on in an hour and i’ve only seen that movie about ten times. Like totally.

i’ll be back at work tomorrow.  infecting the world with my cooties.  though you know,  you’re contagious before you show symptoms so really i should just stay home again.
