sick day report

being sick is never fun, but it's especially frustrating when you feel like you're:

1) too tired to leave your apartment (no groceries, renting movies, or running errands)
2) can't do anything requiring too much brainpower (no reading or doing any sort of design/artwork)
3) limited in energy (no cleaning, exercising, or standing at the stove...not that i usually do a lot of that anyways :P)

so what did i end up doing today? besides a lot of sleeping and drinking water/juice, some e-mailing, and the occasional snack/meal, i caught up on uploading pics to facebook (i went from march to may...not bad), took a long shower (the steam really does wonders for your nasal passages), and did a lot of reflecting. i also got 2 phone calls from jess + adri, which brightened my day being trapped at home. it's always nice to hear from a friend just checking in on you to see how things are and to tell you that they miss you. i know i probably don't tell my friends this enough, but i certainly do miss them.

so at the end of the day, though i didn't get to go into work today, i feel like i was still somewhat productive. maybe it's true that sometimes god makes us sick so that we slow down a bit to think about life and what it is that we're doing with it.
