As The Worm Turns

Sick puppy. BAD. Was soooooooooo pleased I dodged the usual end of the year croup. Thought it was because I'd been hiking daily trying to stay fit. Nope, it was because I wasn't hanging with a group of people or shaking stranger's hands. I've done both in the last 72 hours. Throat looks like a grated tomato. Will not be able to talk tomorrow or the next. All about sleep, sipping teas, sleep and rest. Came close to puking twice today but the need passed. I chose to work today. Should have never gotten out of bed though. BIG mistake. BIG and I will pay the price this week. Losing a week's pay and pension hours. Chugging Nyquil. Night all.
