By about 8:15 AM, I wanted to go back to sleep. I was sitting at my work desk, knowing I had a conference call at 9:30 AM, and wanting nothing more than to go home and back to sleep.

Starting on Sunday, I had felt a tickle in my throat, but I thought maybe it was only allergies. I bought some allergy meds, and I thought that would take care of it.

It progressed to more of a cold or flu today. I was exhausted. My chest was congested. My voice was raspy.

I told myself I should try to make it until noon. As the morning progressed, more work came in and I couldn’t pass it off to others.

I took my lunch to the river. I ate slowly, my appetite not great. I reclined the seat in the jeep and closed my eyes for the last ten minutes or so.

I powered through the afternoon, finishing a proposal revision, and leaving at my usual time. When I arrived home, I changed, grabbed a blanket and pillow, and dropped down on the couch.

I remained that way until we ate, and we listened to this album.

“Did we decide if we knew any other RATT songs other that ‘Round and Round?’”

I shrug, my brain is too foggy to think about it.

After that I slept until 9 PM, waking only to have a few grapes, brush my teeth, and go to bed.
