Halloween was sick. So sick was it, that I got frigin’ sick in the following days. I drank after work on Sunday night…quite a bit, and woke up Monday morning for work, not with a hangover, but body-aches, sore throat and a slight fever. LAME!! I went to work for nearly a full day, feeling under the weather, went home a little early and went to sleep for hours. I woke up in the early evening hours and felt worse….my fever and body aches/chills were out of control and I felt like: SHIT. Yeah it was fun. Basically I then missed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from work. I came back today and am just really mellow trying to catch up with everything (and everyone). I have never taken that many days off from work before! Over a year and a half…I felt like I was in college again just skipin’ out on a few days of classes for whatever reason….although I was sick, it was a pretty cool feeling. I didn’t mind it. I just cruised at home with the dog’s and some old movies. I slept, ate little meals, drank a ton of fluid, slept, watched tons of movies, didn’t shave, wore old shitty clothes. It was pretty epic. No worries or cares, just veggin’. It had been too long since I have done that, and it is lame that it took my first bout with Strep Throat for that to happen, but all happens for a reason. Right?
Well, anyway I got some much needed veg. time by being sick and I am back to the daily grind; whatever that is.
I plan on taking it easy this weekend so we will see how that goes, and plan on staying healthy for some time….yeh.

I hate actually physically being sick, but the time you get to do absolutely nothing productive is totally relaxing. In regular, fast paced life we rarely get to do that. So yeah, cherish those sick days. They rock...as long as you're not feeling too shitty.
Exactly my feeling on the subject. I know that everything happens for a reason and I got sick at a time where my life was heading into light speed; against my will. I felt that I was no longer the driver, but the passenger to my own life. This illness allowed me to slow things down and reflect. It turned out to be very good for my long term health; having a short term illness.
