I slept through pretty good last night. But I wanted to sleep more when I woke up. Instead, I got ready for work.
I don’t know if it’s truly an advantage or disadvantage, but I only went to work today because I work remotely. If I had been in an office, this would definitely would have been a call out sick day. I’ve known some people who were proud of coming into work no matter how sick they were, but I’ve always been of the opinion that bringing illness into the office is rude.
I had several meetings today. I couldn’t speak in my normal voice, but I had enough of a voice to talk. I got through the work day.
I’ve been hydrating aggressively, lots of water and herbal tea. I’ve been sucking on cough drops. And my throat feels worse tonight than it did last night. If it feels worse in the morning, I may just have to drive myself down to Weiser to get myself seen.
I wonder what Ambrose would have done if he were here. He might have insisted that I take today off work so that I could recover better instead of pushing myself. He might have driven me to the urgent care today. I don’t have a fever though, so he might have just made me homemade chicken soup to slurp on all day. He might have made me a smoothie. I wasn’t up to that today, but if I go all the way to Weiser, I might get myself a milkshake. .
I figured this wasn’t strep because it only hurt when I swallowed, but now it’s starting to throb even when I’m breathing. And my head is starting to throb as well. I’ll take cold medicine tonight and see how I feel in the morning.
