No sick day for you..

"There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before. "
- Henry David Thoreau

Onto the third day of the sickness. The loveliness that had been in my head has now also traveled into my chest and brought a pretty yellow mucus with it. I've lost a few hours of sleep each night since this started and eating dinner last night was not in the cards along with going to the gym today. My body is tired just from getting dressed it seems.

I did however get weighed-in today. I had been back and forth all week on if I should or shouldn't because chances are with the wedding, food and being sick along with cold meds I would be up, not down. The thought seemed tempting because deep down I knew if the scale went in the opposite direction of what I wanted, I would be hurt but on the other hand this is what I signed up for. The good, the bad, the ugly, with the skinny and the fat. Keith warned to what could happen as well but after a short talk I climbed on, winding my fatness thanks to the cold, and thankfully I was down another 1 1/4 pounds. That means I'm around five pounds away from 60! Whoop Whoop!!

While I will not be going to the gym today, I will be going to work. Switching it up today though and Trev will be dropping and picking me up. It'll be nice to not have to find the new parking lot and not getting wet is another plus. Hopefully this evening my brain unfogs so that I complete my job better than I did last night. Being sick and building a paper while trying to be artsy...not a good combo. I found that I was over thinking every little part which made me freeze and become useless. Thank god I wasn't building on my own last night. 

It's time to do some makeup and make myself look a little more alive for the rest of the day. My eyes are watering like there is no tomorrow...should be pretty.
