Still feeling sucky, but I went to work anyway because why be miserable at home when I can be miserable at work?  Actually, after doing nothing but reading and watching bad tv all day and evening yesterday, I was bored stiff.  My tv taste was running to soaps and other fluff like the movie “13 Going on 30″, and some Hallmark movie about an American college girl who ends up marrying a Danish prince.  I was just killing time until I could take my nyquil and conk out.

A couple other people are sick on the floor because I hear coughing other than my own, and I think the guy whose cube is kitty-corner from mine went home early.  He sounded worse than me, and I think I heard him trying to record an out of office phone message and kept hacking away through it.  Poor guy. 

Anyway, last night I took nyquil and again slept soundly.  I showered this morning and felt semi-human for a short time.  I’m taking a daytime cold medicine, and was taking cough drops too until I finished the last one about 15 min ago.  Everyone in the dept has gone to our fundraising finale, but I stayed at my desk because who the heck wants to be near someone sick?  I might run out real quick to the Walgreen’s down the block and buy a new bag of cough drops. 

Food hasn’t been very good the past few days.  Strangely enough I can still taste food.  Today I used up a free lunch pass to the caf that I had sitting in my wallet that expired a couple days ago.  Sloppy Joe and tater tots.  Tasty and filling.  Not light or healthy though. 

Not going to the movie tonight, because, again, who wants to be around a sickie?  So I’ll just stay home.  No idea what I’ll eat for dinner. 

Not much else to report, so I’ll publish and go buy my cough drops.
