:: License to (be) ill ::

Thursday, August 29, 2002

I took my first sick day yesterday. I've taken vacation before, but this was the first time I missed a whole day of work due to an unplanned event (in this case, the plague). It was very disconcerting. I spent the whole day lying on the couch of my apartment convalescing. I can't really remember the last time I was sick with a cold, but it's been a while.

Strangely enough, I'm not really upset about it all. I could have used the time at work, and I hated sitting inside all day while everyone else was busy and productive, but now that it's over, it seems to have faded away into memory.

Granted, I'd be hopping mad if I were still sick (which I am) and the weather for the upcoming three-day weekend was forecasted to be sunny and warm (which it isn't), preventing me from fully enjoying nature's goodness. However, given the reality of the dreary, abysmal, weekend conditions outside, it almost seems apropos to be sneezing, dripping mucus, and coughing.

If nothing else, this weather has brought everyone else down to my pathogen-inundated level.
