Sick Day

I woke up really feeling the after affects of my refrigerator workout.  My left hip hurt like crazy, this started last night and I figured a good nights sleep would cure that.  However, I was wrong.  I ate breakfast and fed the cats so for all intense and purposes the day started normal but I knew when I woke up that today I was not going to work. 

I took a muscle relaxer and it’s amazing that one little pill can knock you out of commission for the entire day.  I was hallucinating as I tried to stay awake this afternoon after having slept most of the morning.  Eventually I just gave up and went back to sleep.  I slept pretty much all day long. 

I turned my phone on close to 5p and found that my other co-worker that had been out for 2 days took today as well.  That has only happened a couple times that both of us were out or off.  Usually one of us is there.  I only have 50ish emails to comb through and I seriously plan to return tomorrow. 

I do feel better not 100% but I am hopeful that tomorrow is a better day than today was. 

Good news is that last night I got up the courage to pull the fridge/freezer out to check and there wasn’t a drop of moisture to be found so I fixed the issue.  That made me feel good but I had a strong feeling that when the filter broke in the afternoon that was the source of the problem.  I hope the appliance keeps on humming along for many years ahead. 

Also got my paycheck that reflects my pay raise and I am getting $83 more per pay period, I think I will just up my savings and take the money rather than stuff part of it in a 401K.  I can always change my mind. 

My apologies for no Man Candy today but you know me I will make it up to you once I get caught up.  Right now my worry is sleeping tonight so long as I can accomplish that I will be able to meet my goal of going back tomorrow. 

Take care and hang in there were closer now than we were on Monday to the weekend.
