On the road to recovery

When I have been sick and lying around all day I always feel like I could be doing something more. Especially when I don't feel overly miserable. I stayed home from school yesterday to get one more day of recovery. I had big plans of cleaning, doing work, paying bills, etc... Instead I lazed on the couch, napped, and watched bad TV. I felt a little bad about not working since I didn't feel terrible.

This morning I knew better than to try to do my maintenance run, although I did pack a bag in case I felt up to water running later on. I woke up feeling great and kept that feeling until I was about 5 miles from school. By the time I got to school I was pretty sure that I had made a mistake. I made it about an hour before my fever spiked and I sweated through my deodorant. I tracked down some kids, gathered work together, and headed home.

I thought I would come home and relax but they are powerwashing and painting my building. And, somehow the fire alarm keeps going off. At least I'm in comfortable clothes and am lying down.
