I'm Not Dead Yet

I was not able to avoid getting down with the sickness. I was down for two days. I felt as though I was dying, and yet here I am.

I returned to work today to put out all the fires that had erupted while I was out. I started my day by making a strong pot of coffee and forgot that not only had I not eaten breakfast, but I hadn't had caffeine in two days. And I was on cold meds. Within a few hours I was incredibly shakey and having a hard time focusing.

Breathing, water, and a snack reeled me back in. After a hearty bread bowl soup from Panera, I was practically feeling normal. Okay, sick, but better. I think I turned a corner today. I can't wait to get a long night's sleep and wake to find myself good as new. I'm not dead yet!
