Sick day

The creeping crud from yesterday was enough to keep me home today. I haven’t done anything all day except sleep and drink tea. I’m starting to feel a bit more human, so I should be able to go to work tomorrow. It isn’t anything serious, I’m just whiny and really hate being sick. It seems like such a waste of time. I have found that I don’t bounce back from being sick as well as I used to. I suppose it’s that aging thing. I realized a couple of weeks ago, to my dismay, that I am the oldest person working in my clinic. I’m twice as old as some of them, and three times as old as a few. Sigh.

I did start that new Hitchhiker yesterday during the Seahawks game.

Wollmeise Pure, 100% merino, color is Flower Power. I’ve quit trying to use straight merino to make socks, it doesn’t wear as well under foot.

And as you can see, I’m making a valiant effort to stay awake and do a little medical review. It makes me feel a little less like a slacker for staying home from work. We’ll see how long that lasts.

  1. If one of your patients was ill, you’d tell them to rest and drink plenty of fluids. What’s good for them is good for you. Enjoy your rest and don’t feel guilty about it.

  2. Oh I hope you’ll feel better soon!

    I know what you mean about being the oldest one at your work. I’m WAY older than everyone in my section. And they do not let me ever forget it.

    Such pretty yarn! At least you feel good enough to knit. 🙂
