Howdy folks. Just a quick note to let you all know I am still among the living. Tuesday morning I woke up and didn’t feel well. I tried to shuffle along working from home but something wasn’t right. I swiftly took the day off and went back to bed. I ached all over and felt like I had a fever. My first thought was oh no, not COVID again.
I’ve been down for the count all week long. This morning I mustered up enough strength to finally get a shower. Then to get dressed and drive to an Emergency Room.
That place was packed to the hilt and I waited my turn, thankfully they put me in the fast lane and I was only there for 3 hours. No COVID or any of the other respiratory threats that are present right now. I’ve likely got a virus that is working it’s way out of my body. The sooner the better.
Right now I am off on Friday and the plan is to resume working on Monday. I am at a critical point with my time off. You have to use 5 of your days before you quality for short term disability (the only kind of STD that I want, if I have to have one at all). If I go back then don’t feel well the clock starts all over again. So if I don’t feel well on Monday I will need to reach out to my doctor for a follow-up visit.
It’s more painful to stay home and sit around than it is to actually work. There are cluster fucks brewing and I see that by only skimming my in box on my phone.
The cats have been comforting but they are all so a huge pain when I am sick. I still have to feed them, clean up after them and try to provide some form of entertainment. The boy and I apparently have something in common, we both get horny. He tries to jump his sister and it’s not pretty. They are both fixed so I don’t understand why this is happening. It’s apparently common according to Google. I really hope this is a problem that will go away but kind of don’t think so.
They love to groom each other and lay in close proximity to each other. One or both of them are in bed with me at night. One is about all my twin bed can handle. They are both large cats.
I am tired of being sick and I really could have done with out this. I think that one of the cat scratches that I got might have be what done me in but it’s healing. If it wasn’t that then I’ll point to the van ride with my friends from last Saturday.
Have a good night and I will talk with you again soon. Just wanted to publish something quick to let you know that I am still here. Take care, stay warm and be well.
