I'm sick!

I'm sick today :( My coworkers can attest to this, but I rarely call in sick. Yesterday I came home from work and went to bed. Like at 6PM. WTF! I was (and still am) going from freezing cold to boiling hot. My right ear is ringing and I can barely hear out of it. My body aches. I wonder if this sickness came on because I have been working out so much? And because my immunity is down because of that? I don't know. I do know that I'm at home today, attempting to take it easy. I watched one of my favorite movies, Patch Adams. Always makes me cry. I've cleaned up a bit, put some clothes in the dryer. I'm such a busy person all the time that I don't know how to relax. Well, I did last night because my body was so physically tired that it wouldn't let me do anything but sleep! So here it is, roughly 10:30AM and I'm already bored. Sheesh!

For those of you who knew this, we had a Chili Cook-off Contest at work to raise funds for our Relay for Life team. Our department won (along with 2 others)!! We get a free jean day out of it. The name of our team was, "The Beans Don't Lie" and we had a sombrero crock pot filled with all the fixin's...like Fritos, sour cream, onions and cheese. I decorated aprons too, complete with a bean wearing a sombrero and a mustache. hahaha!!!!

I mentioned that I have been working out alot. It's because I'm trying to lose weight for a wedding I'll be in, in November. So far so good! I met with an old friend, we'll call him King McHotty - and he gave me a workout plan to follow. Only his idea of getting me into shape is having me visit the gym 2 times a day. Which is fine, but now I'm sick....so maybe I need to re-think this you know? But wow, the results after only a few days is phenomenal. When you can physically see a difference, you know something is going right!

Went to a Mardi Gras party at Studio 1219 last Saturday. It was a fundraiser for the Studio. What a good time! Had two glasses of wine (I don't even like wine, but this stuff was good), appreciated some art from local artists, spent some quality time people watching, had some great little appetizers and enjoyed some time with my good friends KT, Nada and her husband Shon. Would for sure do that again. Sure was a nice change from just going to the bar. These people were actually grown up and I'm betting they all had jobs too. Again, a nice change!

Well...signing off for now, maybe I'll go take a nap and this annoying ringing in my ears will finally go away!! TTFN~
