Noooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!
I didn’t sleep at all last night. I had the aches (even more sore because I can’t move my legs after yesterday’s workout), chills, stuffy nose, sore throat…and I’m sure I had a fever but I don’t have a thermy so I can’t tell. I think I woke up every thirty minutes and looked at the clock, just praying it was finally time to wake up so I didn’t have to lay in misery anymore. When I finally did get up, I stood up out of bed and almost fell over because I was so dizzy! Did I catch Miss Gliding Calm’s illness?!! Regardless, I knew I had to get dressed because there was no one even to call at work at that hour to tell them I was sick. I’m the first one there every morning and the only one until Adam arrives around 8:30.
I knew I couldn’t stop much this morning….especially something hot like oatmeal, so I made a smoothie instead to sip on.
It was a very tasty combo of 1 scoop Jay Robb’s chocolate protein, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1 cup silk light vanilla and 1/2 banana (all blended up with ice).
By some sheer miracle, I lasted an hour and a half at work until Adam got there, took one look at me and sent me home. I laid down for a little while (couldn’t get comfy though—even breathing hurts!) and then got up, took an Aleve and am getting ready to drive home. I don’t care how old you are. There’s just something about needing YOUR bed and your mom when you feel awful!
I did manage to stomach a toasted organic mini waffle with almond butter and preserves a little while ago…
I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. Time to drive across Florida and get in my bed!

December 5, 2008 at 9:46 amUgh, I am with you… I have been feeling crappy and flu-ish the past couple nights too, headache, super hot then super freezing and can’t warm up, etc. I’m teaching in Prague and there’s nothing I want more right now that to be at my home in bed with my mom bringing me soup! Sniff. Have a safe drive home and feel better!

December 5, 2008 at 10:44 amOh no! I hope you feel better. Everyone around my office is getting sick too.
Mindy
December 5, 2008 at 10:53 amAww so sorry to hear you’re sick, it sounds really really awful!! Sometimes I find when I ignore the early cues of getting sick and hope it goes away (and by ignore I mean stay up late or go work out), it just makes it worse. You should definitely rest up and hold off on working out for a while.. your body needs all the energy it has to recover! Hope you feel better soon! And I TOTALLY agree that when you’re sick, all you want is your mom 🙂

December 5, 2008 at 10:53 amOh Jenna, I feel for you babe – get well soon. My cold is STILL lingering.

December 5, 2008 at 10:55 amBye the way – get some Vicks VapoRub – it will help you sleep. As long as you don’t mind the menthol smell – the stuff ROCKS.
