i'm sick. sucks. i like to consider myself a very healthy person and i admire myself (yes, i do practice narscicsm regularly) for not getting sick very often due to good nutrition, exercise, hygiene and whatever. but, i'm sick. i think it happened because i haven't been sleeping well. i'm noticed that if i go through a whole work week of getting less than 8 hours of sleep everynight then i'm get sick by the end of the week. but if i can somehow manage to get the full 8 hours at least one night during the week then i can stave off sickness (i might feel kinda crappy, but not be sick at least). anyway, that didn't happen last week and into the weekend as well (which is usually when i can catch up on sleep, although that's not such a good thing to bank on) and now i'm sick.
looking back, this is the very first sick day i've taken since i've started work. wow, i can't believe it took me 2+ years to take my first sick day... i'm trying to remember other times when i probably should have taken a sick day... but really i can't think of any when i was just dying and needed to stay home. i've luckily been a very health boy until today, ha.
it kind of kills me that i still had to wake up early to call in sick though... seems like they should let me sleep. hah, oh well, luckily i was able to get back to sleep from about 8:30-10:30 on the couch, that was cool. oh and luckily again there was tennis on tv the whole day so it was a good day to be a sickly couch potato. i also got a chance to consistently throw rocks at those damn noisy dove bastards in my yard all day. pet the a-dawg too... can dogs get sick from people germs? i did clean the bathroom, which was a pretty productive thing for sickly me to do ay?
well, now that i've got a taste of what life can be like when you're sick i might have to take sick days more often eh? well, luckily today was a non-babysitting day for my mom and then she was out on errands the whole day so i had the house to myself (FOR ONCE!) so it was a lot different than it usually is, y'know, when there's PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM ANYONE IN THIS HOUSE!!!
i guess i'll have to wait until i move out to take another sick day.

8 hours a night??? Holy crap, you sleep a lot!
I'm sorry you had to take a sick day. I take them all the time but mostly cause I'm hung over not actually sick. :P
