Tea and Tami.flu That is what I have been living on for the past week. H1N1 is a vile, nasty bug. I am feeling much better today. Tired, but better. Let me fill you in on my week.
Last Sunday I traveled up to Detroit to hear the Stirrup Queen, Melissa Ford present her book, Navigating The Land Of IF. She was more than kind and as sweet in person as she comes across in the blog. Afterward there was a signing and of course, pictures:
I was also able to meet Michelle of To Baby and Beyond, her sister, and Palemother. All very lovely ladies. It was a sincere pleasure. This was the first time I had met other bloggers and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it. As you know, I am anonymous to nearly all of my IRL friends and family. But this felt easy and natural. I left happy, stopped at Ikea on my way home, then got prepared for my first day.
I started my new job on Monday. My first day went well and I believe I made good first impressions all around. The people there are nice and very helpful. Tuesday I had a bit of a tickle in my throat and fell asleep at 7pm. Wednesday I had another good productive, educating day with just that little tickle in my throat. Until 12:00pm that is. At 12:00pm I was almost instantly sick. Chills, fever, blinding headaches, congestion, lethargy, aches. I have no idea how I put one foot in front of the other at that point. I called my doc, but he couldn't get me in until Thursday afternoon. Ugh. Of course, I continued to go to work. Because who calls off sick in their first week? But today I am feeling good and am actually pretty excited to get to work tomorrow. Did you hear that? Me, excited to get to work. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

Oh my gosh, what an awful time to be sick! Of course it's never a good time, but some times are better than others. Like NOT the first week of a new job. I'm so glad you like it though. That's really awesome!
It was a pleasure to meet you last Sunday. So sorry to hear you had such a bummer of a week ... such awful timing! That's my kind of luck. ;) I've heard good things about tamiflu. Glad you are on the mend and the new job is looking good; that's huge.
Cheers,
D.
I am so glad that you like your new job. Sorry that you were sick your first week. How exciting that you got to see other bloggers and meet Mel!
