Home sick

I give up. Decided to stay home because I am just too sick to be at work today. I may have a lot to do, but someone else will have to take care of what they can for a day or so. I think the fever is what is keeping me down more than anything, but this chest congestion is getting worse. I have a lot of guys out sick right now as well, and if anyone else calls in we will have to shut down the jobs sites for a week until everyone can get back to work. I don’t want to do that, but honestly, I need healthy employees. If I am left with no choice, then I will shut them down. I can always find something for the guys who aren’t sick to do around the shop for a few days. After all, I don’t want them to loose a weeks pay as well.

I am going to take some meds in a little while and go back to sleep. Maybe if I am lucky, I can sleep this out and get back to work tomorrow. I am not very hopeful about that though. I hope my wife doesn’t come down with this. It is pretty nasty.

I hate fevers

I have been running a fever today and it’s driving me crazy. First the sweats, then the chills and all I want to do is sleep, but I can’t. If I go to sleep, I will be up all night. It is really annoying. The medicine the doctor gave me won’t kick in till tomorrow sometime, so I have to suffer through it. Blah, I hate being sick. I know what your thinking, men are all big babies when they are sick. You would be correct. I freely admit it. Time to go veg out on the couch now.

Doctors appointment

I really hate doctors, but I woke up with a swollen throat and lymph nodes and a fever. I hate being sick even more than I hate doctors, so I will go get some meds and take care of this. I can’t really afford to be out of work for too long. I hope it’s not strep throat though. I have had that before and it took forever to get rid of. The medicine for it didn’t really agree with me either. Oh well, I am off. Talk to you people later.
