Ten for Thursday

Ten things that struck me today while being home uber sick

1. Unexpected emails from blogging friends sending me well wishes totally make a sick girl's day - Thank You b.e.g.!
2. There's really nothing better than chicken noodle soup (and yeah, I went old school Campbell's) when you're not feeling well.
3. Watching back to back showings of What Not to Wear really makes me wish that Stacey & Clinton would show up at my door with a $5000 Visa Gift Card!
4. Scarves are in my radar right now. Especially super soft ones from Nordstrom.
5. Nothing makes a girl feel more loved than having a loving hubby bring home soup when she's not feeling good.
6. I popped outside to take Hayden out and fell in love with the weather all over again. Fall is almost here!
7. Guilty feelings abound when the husband who brought you home soup comes home & tells you he thinks he's got what you've got.
   
8. I need to pull up my summer plants (which didn't do so well this year) and plant some fall ones. Any suggestions of what to put in some pots on our porch?
9. When I'm not feeling well, the last thing I want to do is play ball with the dog.
10. I hope I got a new magazine in the mail today.

Aren't Thursday's special? You have the anticipation of Friday getting here & then the weekend. They're even more special if you're not sick & haven't infected your hubby with your germs. Blech.

Ya'll, I'm sick

I'm not one to complain & I usually just soldier through when I don't feel well, but this time, I'm sick. Not just a little runny nose & maybe a little sore throat sick, but full on, "What truck just backed up over me for the 10th time?" sick.

So sick that my doctor told me to stay home from work for the next few days. When I told my boss that Mr. Potts was going to stop by the office to pick some things up for me, she told me to take the rest of the week off & recover. She's fabulous. I'm sure I'll be checking in, but the time to recover will be so nice.

The thing is, I'm sure there are tons of people out there who if they're super sick don't stay home. Instead, they bring their germs into the office. Sharing them, as the case may be. I definitely think that if you're under the weather, you should not expose anyone to your germs. Do you stay home if you're awfully ill or do you go into work?
