sick day

I am on day 2 of sick leave for strep throat.  I do feel better and maybe could have worked at least part of the day but I still have a little fever and it is snowing outside and I didn't want to have to deal with that on top of being sick.  I will have to suck it up and go in tomorrow regardless. 

Am I the only one who watches court tv while they are home sick?  I am watching a trail of this really straight laced looking girl who killed her boyfriend and is telling all the explicit stories about their sex life that are making me blush.  They know she killed him but they are trying to decide if they are going to give her the needle or not.  I would have never suspected this girl to be someone who could brutally kill someone.  At one point she told police that Ninja's killed her boyfriend.  Oh, lord.

Eating has kind of sucked.  All I want is root beer.  Water tastes so gross to me and I'm really not even hungry, I just want root beer, and I have drank my body weight in it over the last few days. 
When I was a kid I used to have strange dreams about my mom's iced tea when I was sick.  I figure it has something to do with running a fever and the dehydration it causes.  I had those dreams again but this time with A&W. 

I did run on Saturday and felt good.  My knee kind of felt wonky on the way back so I slowed down a little but over all it was a great run.  I cheated my ass off with the cards and got a really cute pink for the cure New Balance shirt with a dog theme.  It is the perfect shirt for me.

Hunter's surgery went well even though he gave the vet a few problems, which is so unlike him.  He held his breath while they were putting him under.  When they got him under and turned the gas down he got up while they were trying to shave the area the growth was on.  It freaked the vet out because Hunter is the most compliant dog ever but we had a good laugh about it when I picked him up.  He gets his stitches out a week from today and he hasn't even seemed to notice they are there.  He is such a good boy.  Oh, and we did tell the vet we didn't want to know if it was cancer since he is too old for treatment.  They understood and told us they were 99% sure it is fine. 

Got my last shot in the knee on Monday.  I thought about cancelling it since I was so sick but since I was out with Hunter anyway I just got it over with. It didn't hurt at all this time, just a little discomfort.  My knee is feeling almost normal now.  Of course I haven't done much to test it out.  I am just so glad that is over.  Maybe this time it will last for a year.

I'm pretty sure the Austin trip for the 10/20 isn't going to happen.  I am pretty sure the friend I was going to go with is going to back out.  I don't really want to go solo.  I hope it all works out though, we had a blast last year.  We need to get it figured out because it is in April and I need to know if I should buy a plane ticket or not.  I am not good at waiting until the last minute.

Regardless, I have decided to do my first trail run.  It is called the Snake Run and instead of it being a certain distance it is either 3 or 6 hours and you run however far you can in that time limit.  I signed up once before but it had snowed and I am not a fan of mud.  Hopefully the weather will hold up and that won't be a problem this year. 

It's Nyquil time.  Gotta make the most of it since I will have to go to work tomorrow.
