Influenza

I have been neglecting this blog for a while. One of those reasons, as of late, would be that I have recently been so sick! I really haven't been this sick ever! We woke up Saturday Sept. 3rd, early, to make our way to Midway for the infamous Swiss Days events, and I arose with a horrible sore throat and congestion. We still went to Swiss Days and I ended up feeling better throughout the day. We stayed down in Spanish Fork Saturday night and I again woke up Sunday feeling incredibly ill, but this time worse, and this time it didn't go away. I was miserable and just wanted my own bed. Luckily the next day was Labor day and I was able to spend the whole day in bed, only that didn't help much Monday I began coughing and things just got worse. I still went to work on Tuesday because I really didn't know what else to do and since I didn't feel good I went to the doctor on Wednesday morning, but naturally, it was just a virus, so that afternoon I went back to work again and just tried to get through the day. Thursday was the same, just trying to get through the day. At this point my cough is so uncontrollable it is embarrassing to be at work. I wake up on Friday and decide that there is no way that I can make it even though I know that I have a long weekend ahead of me (I didn't have to work the following Monday) so I finally decided to call in sick. I spend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in bed and I finally feel better, not all better, but enough to go to work and not feel like I am just trying to get through the days. I just can't wait to be all better and no more tickle in my throat and able to sing along to my music again, you know without my voice cracking! The good news is my house is all decorated for fall harvest and it is cooling down here in Logan and I can feel that crisp fall air! I love fall!
