So, here's the scoop.
Aug. 25th, 2009 10:14 amNot QUITE better yet, but better by far than I was yesterday. Barely coughing, now. Unfortunately, that is a very recent development: last night, I didn't fall asleep until about 1:30 am because I was coughing so much. I eventually left the bedroom and went to sleep on the couch so that my poor
piercheart could get some sleep. If I'd had more sleep, I'd have gone in today. With drugs, I'm feeling pretty reasonable. But since I got barely 5 hours (and some of that kind of fitful), I decided instead to stay home and work from home for half a day. After all, I have a vacation coming up, and I wanted to make sure all my work got done before then, since I have a pretty full plate right now. I told my manager as much in a phone message. I got some work done, but then a few minutes ago, she e-mailed me to tell me to rest up instead of working, and that if I needed to have some of my assignments redistributed, that would be fine. OK. Fair enough. I tried. And really, I was fine working. It gave me something to do besides dick around online, knit, or read. No, don't tell me I should be sleeping. I have such a hard time sleeping in the daylight, even with something over my eyes. I might sneak in a little more work later today, even though I don't have to. She won't know. :)
Edit: OK, maybe the tiredness is affecting me more than I thought. 1:30 to 5:30 is FOUR hours of sleep, not 5.
