Set puny=1

Yes, my puny bit is set to 1. I was hoping that this cold I have or whatever it is would pass without drama. When I woke up this morning, I realized that it was not to be. I felt horrible. Called the office with the fun news then went back to bed. Big thanks to my sis for picking me up something to eat for lunch and then for swinging by Wal-Mart to pick up more things for me in addition to some drugs. Drugs are my friend. Spent the afternoon alternately sleeping and watching Return of the Jedi. My head was pounding towards the late afternoon when I realized that I had not yet had a Mt. Dew and that my headache may in part be caused my my "dew deficiency". So I'm having one now.

Kevin called me early in the day - apparently, there may be a couple of us that have the same thing. Mine might just be a little farther along than theirs so Kev was wanting to get an idea of what to expect next. So Kev, it's more congestion, headache, fever and hopefully nothing else. I really didn't want to be sick especially with the new job and all... I called into the office late in the day to kinda see how things went and to tell them I would be in tomorrow (I was going to whether I was well or not) and was told... no, you need to stay home till you're all the way better. They even offered to run any errands for me or bring me anything I needed. HOW FREAKIN GREAT IS THAT?!?!?! This just continues to reinforce the reason I like my new employer so much. For this I am very thankful.

I hate that I'll be missing out on the Guad tonight but I really can't be risking getting any worse. I'm going to continue to lay low and try to recover as quickly as possible.
