Weekend Round-Up: Nothing

That’s right, I haven’t done anything at all in several days. My brilliant plan to take a few days off in between jobs was thwarted by a very bad cold. I barely got in a few errands and a dinner party during the whole week.

Adding insult to injury, my illness only got worse as the week progressed. Rob took me on a lovely architectural walking tour downtown on Friday for a few hours, but I spent the rest of the weekend in bed; watching countless dvd rentals, reading several books and trying different combinations of medicines. I can’t remember the last time I was this sick…and in July to boot.

My new job starts tomorrow and, despite now having bronchitis, I’m starting to feel human again. I think I’ll take a few days off to focus on work and recovery. Talk to you later this week!

Feel better soon. I once started a job with pneumonia. You can and will do it well, as with everything you do.

Being sick in the summer is the worst! I hope it hasn't been too hot for you. Good luck with your new job.

Sounds like what I had a few weeks ago…and my husband and other friends as well. It's a real doozy – and long-lasting! I was sick for a good 10 days, and there are some lingering effects on my sense of smell…ugh! It's definitely going around. Take care!
