Sick and Busy

Sorry about being away from my computer for a while.  I got a bad cold on Saturday evening and didn't reallh leave my bed until Tuesday morning.  My throat was sore and I was achy and had a mild fever.  I did very little on Sunday and Monday, mostly slept and watch junk on tv.  My puppy really enjoyed getting to snuggle with me all day and night.  He was so sad when I left him to go to work on Tuesday.

Tuesday morning, my sore throat was gone to be replaced by a stuffy nose and an urge to cough.  I went to work and spent the entire day playing catch up from all I missed the day before.  I picked a bad time to be sick since I have my first department meeting on Thursday!  I did run by myself on Tuesday, 35 minutes and outside!  The run was tiring but it felt good to be back out there.

Today things were mostly back to normal.  Things got a bit crazy for a while at work, not my doing or my fault, and I spent part pf the day trying to help things recover from it.  My boss even had me in to his office for an impromptu meeting to get my opinion on things.  I really do like how my boss values my opinion and I am fairly sure that it isn't acting, but he actually cares what I think about certain situations.

After work I met up with my friend to run.  I knew it wasn't going to be pretty since my stuffy nose was still hanging around a bit and I had actually started coughing occasionally.  We ran for 30 minutes at a fairly easy pace and then I called it off.  I was actually a little proud of myself for being willing to give up before I got to the end of my "scheduled" run.  I dislike not being able to check things off my list, so stopping early was a big thing for me. 

I have continued to use my Garmin and I am really liking all of my data!  When I first tried to upload my data tonight, I got an error message and was very nervous, but when I refreshed the site, I saw that it was Garmin's site that was down and not that anything was wrong with my Garmin!

After that, I messed around on my computer some, had a late dinner and got ready for bed.  I had a long day, I was up at 4:30, so after drinking my tea and writing this post I am going to sleep!

As I am writing this, my puppy is sleeping next to me, and snoring!, with his eyes wide open!   I don't know how he does it.

Aww!
