I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last posted. I wish I could tell you that I've been having the time of my life while I've been gone but no such luck.
Where to begin. Last Thursday (the last day that I posted) I came home from work with a sore throat. Friday I went to work and by the time I got home I now had a cough and chills. I hit the couch and slept. Saturday morning was the fair parade that goes by my house. Amanda and her husband came over to watch with me.
After they left I ran to the store to get some cold medicine. I came home took some and laid down. A second dose 4 hours later and I was knocked out in no time. That's when I discovered that I bought night time medicine.
Sunday morning I was feeling a bit better so thought I might get some things done around the house. It didn't take long for my energy to drain and again I was hanging out on the couch. I was supposed to have lunch on Monday with a couple old friends that I grew up with but chose to back out since I didn't know how I would feel.
Monday morning again I was feeling better so I started doing some more things around the house. Again I ran out of energy but at least this time I wasn't totally wiped out like I had been. So far this has been the worst vacation ever. On the bright side, I would rather be sick and laying around the house getting paid for it than being at work sick dragging through the day.

Oh NO!! I am so sorry, what a huge dissapointment! I sure hope you feel back to normal soon. But at least it is good that you can stay home and rest.
I hope you get a couple of days off without feeling sick. glad you are feeling better and sooo sorry your vacation has been a flop. you are right, off and sick is better than on and sick
I really hope you get to feeling better soon...enough to really enjoy some if your vacation.
You're right about better being home sick than worrying about going to work. I hope you're back to feeling better soon.
I wonder if you had COVID, Ann?! They say if you have what feels like a summer cold, it's probably the virus. I'm honestly glad you bought the nighttime cold medicine by accident, as you got some good rest that way. Get well soon, kiddo! PS~ Amanda's a pretty young gal...she looks just like you. ~Andrea xoxo
Oh geesh, Ann! Sorry to hear this. But I agree with you. Being home sick while on vacation is better than trying to get through the day not feeling well. I hope you start feeling better soon so you can enjoy a few days of vacation before you have to go back to the grind. I wonder too, like Andrea, if this could be Covid?
betty
Looks like you needed to use sick time, not vacation time. I hope you're feeling better.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
Totally sucks to be sick during vacation...helluva way to get some much needed rest.
I'm so sorry you didn't get a much needed vacation, and that your store doesn't have sick leave for when you're sick and not on vacation. Take care and I hope you can have some fun soon!
I am so sorry you were sick on your week off. Yes, better than being at work and being sick but still. I hope you feel better by now and that your energy level is returning. Takes a while I know.
Well I'm glad you are feeling better! It is a bummer to be sick on your vacation and I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your week off!
So sorry to hear this. Hope you are feeling better now. You take care. ((Hugs))
What a bummer to be sick during your vacation. Hope you get your energy back soon.
Your symptoms sound just like mine when I had Covid back in May!! I also had a bad headache for a day.
Oh rats. That sucks. Sounds like Covid and that may be why you were so tired. My son just had it and it was just like a cold. Either way, doesn't matter, I suppose. But it may be nice to have some immunity if it was Covid. Glad you rested though.
as you can see, I'm behind on blogs - but I also see that your time off, wasn't great but at least you rested...here's hoping that tomorrow when you've back at work, life looks great on the shop floor. If not, time to rethink that area...
