It happens every year. Either I'm sick on Thanksgiving or Christmas. This year it's Thanksgiving apparently. I've had a nasty cough for 6 days now that just won't go away! It's really not fun. I was supposed to go to some friend's house for a day-before-Thanksgiving celebration today, but I ended up staying home with Danielle and Jonathan.
So, here I am, sitting in the family room, while Jonathan is in his room talking on the phone with a friend, and Danielle is napping. Ah, quiet. I love it. I'm watching a new show on Netflix that I've been trying to watch this whole time I've been sick, but it hasn't been working with other kids around using internet. Now they're gone! Yay! Ben's supposed to be coming over in a while, but for now I'm just sitting typing, and there's no sound other than Netflix turned down and the dishwasher going. Quiet. Did I mention I like quiet? ;)
I was supposed to work Monday, but I called in, because I'm working with cut food, and I figured it wasn't a good idea to get everyone sick because I was coughing all over everything. I felt bad about it, because I hate calling in, but you have to do what you have to do. I had yesterday off, and then I worked today. I wanted so badly to call in again, because I'm definitely not feeling better, and may even be feeling worse, but I decided calling in twice in one week was bad, especially since I just put in my two week notice. So, I got myself up at 5:00 and went to work. I was supposed to work from 6 to 2, but I was having a really, really hard time. I was just coughing all over everything and everybody, and it was nonstop, to the point where my sides just started hurting. I was gonna ask if I could leave at 10, when the closer came in, but about 8:50 my manager came in and said I could go ahead and go. I wasn't going to complain! :D So, I made it about 3 out of my 8 hours. Oh well. It was important for me to go home.
I'll probably just end up staying home tomorrow instead of going into Tucson with the rest of the family. That's ok though, I'm used to missing stuff. I've missed our Christmas service at church the last 2 years in a row because of sickness. It would be nice to have time at home by myself. Besides, Jonathan has to work tomorrow, so then he won't be by himself when he comes home. :)
Mom's all into essential oils, and she's been trying to put them on me, but so far they haven't really been helping that much. Although, she did put on a different one today, and I haven't been coughing nearly as much, so maybe it is helping. Who knows. All I know is I feel terrible and want to sleep for the next 4 days. Unfortunately, that's pretty impractical. So, I'll just stay around the house and rest, and hope that I'm feeling better soon.
