Sick and Tired
I'm as sick as a dog but not Nutty!
It’s no fun being sick. Believe me, I’d rather be working. But I’m starting this week with my first sick day in years. In the eight years I’ve been with Fox Chicago, I think I’ve accrued over 50 sick days! My parents always stressed working – people get left behind when they’re immobile so it’s better to stay on the move.
Good thing it’s just a cold. I’ve blasted it with just about everything in the medicine chest. I always forget how potent NyQuil is until I take it again. Is it me or is one dose equal to about half a bottle of Jack? Now I’m waiting for the Zicam to kick in. I started that on Friday when I felt a sore throat coming on.
Time to make more tea. By the way, my parents are right about remaining on the sideline in the rat race of life. Since I didn’t go to work today, I didn’t make my usual check-ins on foursquare. What a downer to get this email: “Sorry for the bad news, but Eliza has just replaced you as mayor of Starbucks (225 N. Michigan)! Don’t take it too hard – a few more checkins and you could be back on top.”
Many thanks to all of you who advised me to get well soon. I will!
