Sick Day.

Ugh between watching Judy Moody (horrible movie) with my six year old cousin, crying softly through Super 8 (the movie is damn near perfect in my eyes) and consuming an abundance of candy, movie snacks and food...I am sick.

Sick. Sickly. Icky Ickly. Sick.

There are pros and cons to my current situation. Pro's: I was able to leave work uber early today for fear of vomiting on patrons and/or passing out in the aisle somewhere. I will also get to utilize a sick day tomorrow because I rarely (ever) call out of work. I have stocked up on soup, saltine crackers and for some reason a cheap box set of Nightmare on Elm street from Target to busy me in my sick state.

Cons: Being sick.

I am achy and light headed and generally ill feeling today. Yesterday was an epic marathon of hanging out with my aunt and baby cousin, sitting through one of the worst kid flicks I have ever seen and then sitting through one of the best movies I have ever seen soon after. By 6 o'clock I thought 'hey, I'm not feeling all that great but maybe I am just worn out'. But when I got home, my body sort of crashed, my head sort of exploded and all out flu-like symptoms took hold.

While being sick is never fun, being away from people for a while to get better is just what i need. I am worn down and exhausted and all kinds of in need for some TLC.

And because I haven't had a proper sick day in a very long time I am going to do it up in style. I am going to remain in bed for the next two days with only soup, juice and netflix near by. Should my phone ring I will promptly move it away from me. I will read my old school fear street novel from front to back because it is a quick and easy read. And pj's will be my sick outfit of choice. Pants are optional.

Outside of feeling terrible I am looking forward to resting up for a while. I doubt that I have the summer flu but I do think being generally exhausted has something to do with my current state.
