Home sick again

danaerisWhere is the Danae?
Saturday I began to come down sick with a particularly nasty cold.
I tried to go into work Monday and left after a half day. I took two two hour naps, and then went to sleep and slept/lay in bed for 9 hours. This morning, still feeling crappy, so I called in sick again.
The physical symptoms aren't that bad... just a little stuffed up and sneezy. But I feel exhausted and like I have no brain, which makes being at work a cruel joke. At home, I can work on my 9ICB presentations and when my brain shuts down, take a nap. Wash, rinse, repeat. The average cold lasts about a week (2-14 days being the range). I'm on day 4, so it is reasonable to hope for recovery any day now.
Unfortunately, massive quantities of sleep tend to act as a depressant, as does illness. So, I'm starting to feel pretty down, mostly about my job, but also somewhat about being ill and being a Bad Person for calling in sick, and about wanting to be well enough to fully enjoy 9ICB etc. this coming weekend. Blah.
Wish me recovery!

So hopefully you'll be in good shape for 9ICB!
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
