A Few Days in Bed... Ugh.

David and I are recovering from the stomach flu. It's the 24 hour bug that keeps on giving and going strong in the evening of it's 3rd day. I haven't had a full blown bug in a while so I have forgotten what a baby I am when it comes to this stuff. I've lost 6 pounds so far, which I'm sure will come right back with the first full glass of water I drink. For now, though, not much is appealing. In fact, nothing is appealing. And those who know me well know how much I love good food and drink. David didn't have anyone to cover for him at work so he had to go in both nights. I felt so bad for him but feel bad for the people he likely infected, too. He worked alone so hopefully no one will snag the bug from him.

We were planning to go out to the property for 4 days straight - our longest stay out there ever - but the bug interrupted those plans. Instead we are going to look at a rental that's closer to my new job tomorrow and then consider the trip again based on how we are feeling.

I missed my last two days on my old job. I felt pretty silly calling in sick both days and missing my "farewell" lunch. My boss probably thinks I'm a real loser. I start my new job this week. I'm a little anxious about the new schedule, but overall, I'm looking foward to starting something new.
