The Laryngitis

Hey so I've been a little sick for about a week and a half. It all started last Thursday (12/4)... I started to feel a cold coming on. I had a fever ... coughing... runny nose ... chills. You know... I went to work and pretended I was fine (of course). Sunday rolled around and I had lost my voice... I went to work anyway and talked for 8 hours to customers about TVs. Monday I decided to stay home because I couldn't even get anything out... Just barely enough to call and say I couldn't talk. I went to work Tuesday even though I still couldn't talk. Tuesday night I couldn't take the pain anymore so Eric and I made a trip to urgent care. The doctor said I had Laryngitis, gave me some antibiotics and tylenol with codeine, and sent me on my way. I called work and told them I needed a day off since the doctor told me to stay home. I had 3 days off in a row. All I did was sleep and watch the Simpsons, it was magical... Then it was back to work on Saturday. Loads of fun... I can talk now, but still feel sick... At least I have tomorrow off... maybe I will get better soon...

The Work!!

Well, I'm now 3 days into my 8 day streak of working. It is so fun to not have a day off for a little over a week... Right?? I think the best part is that we close at 10 so I'm usually there till around 11-11:30 or later. The next day I usually get to open, so I have to be back at 8. I love the 5 hours of sleep, not being able to see my husband for more than 5 minutes in the morning or when he gets home. I also love that I've been sick for the past 3 days, yet I go to work anyway. I don't think I can even talk very well today... Well, I wouldn't know because Eric is already gone and I have no one to talk to until I go into work. I spend more time with people I could care less about than I do with the love of my life. I hate the holidays, just because of work. I love the family part. 

Well, on a happier note, we have done some decorating. Eric and I saw a cool thing at Ikea and decided to replicate it. Silver sand, small ornaments, and a candle in a vase. It looks pretty neat! My mom also got us a really cute candle holder, and we bought a couple of things at Target. I love that place!! We bought our tree and got it about 80% decorated. I'm sure the next time Eric and I are home together we will put the ornaments on... If we're home together before christmas. We also bought some year-round decorations. We found a neat giant spoon, fork, and knife at Hobby Lobby that we are going to put up in the kitchen. We also got a couple of lighthouses and a ship steering wheel for our chest in the entry way. Soon enough our home will have a lot of cool little decorations. 

We also go our TV calibrated on Wednesday! I know, I'm a loser... But it was worth it!! I love how much better the picture looks. I never realized how blue my screen was until I got it fixed. I'll show you sometime if you come over... It looks neat!! 

Well, I'm going to try and enjoy the next few hours until I have to leave for day 4 of 8! My day off is soon approaching! I'm free Thursday and Friday if anyone wants to do anything... Yippee!!
