It's Monday and I am full of don't wanna.
Hard same! Despite (or maybe because) lounging and sleeping for most of the weekend. I feel like I got rested and now I want a day off to get sone things done at home. But nooooooo, work. Poop!
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started my Monday at the dentist, always an awesome start to the week.

3-day weekend coming up, msbelle? January is so weird.
I am not into working today. I am not into being awake today, actually. FIrst week of WFH Monday, and I appreciate that I could drag myself out of bed a little later and, you know, be home, I'm not doing so great with the "work" part

I have dentist at 1p -- dentist buddies, yay? Yeah, not so much.
Five whole days of work ahead, what?
I think I have pleurisy, which sounds so old fashioned but really is just inflamed tissue around the ol' lungs, which, I probably ended up with bronchitis even though I never went to the doc, so... that would track. I finally caved and sent a note to the doc, because it is uncomfortable to the point that I didn't get much sleep last night, and I can't take NSAIDs, and Tylenol is like fake medicine to me. She's probably going to make me go in. Fair enough.

Pleurisy sucks, man. If you can't take NSAIDs, I see steroids in your future.

Ah, steroids. That makes sense. Blergh.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks for the updates, ND. Holding you both close in my heart.
Pleurisy, boo, JenP. I hope they find something that helps and quickly.
I have 3-day weekends now, but that’s because we are working 4 10-hr days. This weekend I was pretty much out of commission due to pain and fatigue for Friday and Saturday. I did manage to get some stuff done yesterday, but I’m not keeping up with life, let alone catching up on all the stuff I am behind on.
And really, I need to probably find more hours somewhere to bring more money in, but I don’t know how that’s going to work if I spend two days recovering. Last week wasn’t even a full week because of NYD.
Twas ever thus. May it not always be so.

Pleurisy sucks.
I was very happy at 730am when I begrudgingly went to log into work and found out the meeting I was logging in for was canceled. Sadly I still had meetings from 8am until now and do not want to do any more work.

Jen, I feel like the dentist AND pleurisy is one thing too many.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Pleurisy sounds very un-fun, except of course for the Glass Menagerie "blue roses" reference. Probably much less entertaining if you're the one who has to actually experience it.
Pix & ND, still sending thoughts and prayers (hate that that now sounds like a snark rather than an actual hope and wish for strength & peace & better times ahead).
-t, that sounds like a crappy celebration. I hope the cocktails at least were good.
It's been too long since I've posted for a full meara, but I have been reading along and sending best wishes all this time.
