So Much For An Apple A Day

Have had a fairly unproductive week as I came down with a head cold on Tuesday which has pretty much owned my week. Started feeling achy and sniffly on Tuesday night at work but figured it wasn't anything that a few hands of poker couldn't cure. Got to poker and quickly started to go downhill but I couldn't bail on poker because it was the first night of new tournament play and I came in second which gives me a good start. (although that is how I started last time and I don't need to be reminded how that turned out) Anyhow as soon as that game was over I headed home despite the cash game that had just started up.

I got home and crawled into bed and despite having six blankets on my bed I didn't stop shivering all night. By the time morning finally rolled around I was feeling even worse than I looked. Stayed in bed until the last minute possible then I jumped in the shower and dragged myself to work. I managed to make it through 3 classes before giving into my cold and telling Lorne that if I felt the same as I was feeling that day, I wouldn't be in to work the next. He took one good look at me and decided I was better off at home and arranged for others to take over my classes. I got home, climbed into bed and didn't get out for the next 17 hours.

Decided to give work a go today and by the time I got to work my migraine had actually begun to subside. I still looked like hell and my kids made sure to point it out to me, but I survived the day and am even starting to feel a little better tonight, which is good because me and the boys are headed to Busan on Saturday to meet with some friends that we met on our ski trip a few months back so that should be good times.
