Why sick in May?

Well I've only been sick once before this winter, and it was just a little head cold, but I've got it again. Seems to be the same thing...head cold, but why in the middle of May? I mean seriously, it's MAY 15th! Insane. I do not appreciate being sick now, but I am grateful that I haven't been worse thus far and this looks to be a minor issue as well.

Today started off all wrong, First I couldn't get to sleep last night, with things running through my head and the nap I took last night...totally kept me awake until after 2am. I finally fell asleep, but it wasn't a terribly restful sleep, I wasn't in the deep sleep, I can remember playing along with dreams and checking the time. I did wake up and turn my alarm to snooze and turned off my cell phone at 5am...and proceeded to fall back into my crazy, weird sleep. Now this is all fine and dandy when you don't have to be at work at 6am. I woke up just about 5:40ish, called work and told them I'd just gotten up and would be in as quickly as possible. I knew I wouldn't be there when I normally got there as 5:40 is when I leave for work. So I threw on the clothes I already had laid out, put in my contacts and threw on a touch of make up. I was out the door and in my car by 5:50am and hit work at 6am on the dot, so I wasn't late technically, but we are kinda supposed to be there 10 minutes early. That started my day, and by 9am, my nose was like a faucet and I didn't feel well. I kept sneezing, and the sneezing hurt..that big. Not fun. I contemplated going home from work with the sick leave I've accumulated, but it's always been hard for me to accept going home for being sick. I never want to miss out on things (like school work and class) or not accomplish what I need to, so I figured I'd be ok. I started feeling better by 11am, and thought ha! If I'd have gone home, I'd be a hypocrite and wimp for leaving when I should be at work. But by 1pm I felt awful again, and by that time I just needed to stick out the last couple hours. I got off at 3, headed to target to buy some sudafed and headed back home and straight into bed. I slept 4 hours and felt much better afterward. So that's my day.

I'm glad I am on a 2 mornings, 2 evenings this week, as I'm done with my mornings and I don't have to be at work until 3pm tomorrow night. Tomorrow I'm planning on getting my Kansas license plates, talk about exciting! Not really, I'll be sad to see my NE plates go, I've always been proud of having them. I'm hoping that it won't be to big of an issue tomorrow and I can get it done relatively quickly. 1 hour to 1.5 hours...at max. We'll see. I need to sleep in and get rested so I can get better and do that, I'm sure it can get done.

Next week is an all 6am morning week, so hopefully I can get into a groove and stay awake during the afternoons after work so I can sleep at night and be rested for work. Who knows. It's my first 5 day straight mornings in a long long time, and I can't say I've missed it to much. Well for now, it's back to the TV...(no not bed...remember I took a nap, so bed later) I've got to watch Lost! I hope I feel better sooner rather than later!

Love all!
