Setbacks

As soon as I felt like I was getting back on track this week, Wednesday turned out to be one of those crazy days where I felt overwhelmed. I also started feeling sick, and overnight Wednesday night ended up with a stuffy nose and sore throat.

Which was only worse on Thursday morning. I'm feeling better today, but ended up taking two days off of work. It's been quite awhile since I've taken more than one day off for illness. I've been drinking tea like crazy, had Chicken and Stars earlier, and just been sitting around and sleeping.

There are so many things that I keep thinking I need to do, but on the other hand, I just need to rest and get better...which is difficult for me...

On the bright side, maybe I'll lose a couple pounds...

Just when you thought it was safe...

Yesterday was awful. The only thing that made it better was going out for sushi for dinner. Work just kicked my butt - I had a lot of constituents, lots of phone calls coming in, and just really felt like I got nothing done for as busy as I was. So, today had to be better, right?

Not so much. Today ended up being a day that just made me feel drained, sad, and just plain sick. I skipped out on happy hour plans because I just had to withdraw. The last few hours of the day, I just felt so useless, didn't want to be there, tired, and just wanted to cry. I'm going to guess that partly, I don't feel well, and the other part of me feeling like this is I'm just feeling a little insignificant. Hm, I sound like a commercial for Zoloft. Sigh.

I'm a little confused because I feel lonely, yet I want to be alone. That doesn't really make any sense, does it?
