total sick day

I’m missing work Thursday and Friday.  Fortunately, a job for those two days got cancelled, so I don’t even have to notify the office that I can’t come to work.  I can sit (un)comfortably at home and not get docked personal time.

It’s head, throat, and chest, a whole lotta phlegm and snot.  I feel so bad that I can’t sleep, so I took a generic Zyrtec to hopefully knock myself out and get some rest.

Meanwhile, some comfort activities:

  • a Sunbutter (like peanut butter but is sunflower-seed based) and jelly sammitch.
  • a couple of episodes of the 1970’s TV series The Rockford Files.  The show was often corny, but I always find James Garner to be charming.
  • a tablet balanced on my stomach, so I don’t even have to get off the sofa to read or make posts, do e-mail, etc.

Meanwhile back to the sandwich.

  1. Hope you’re feeling better after the weekend. Your cold/flu doesn’t sound like much fun. I’m still going through pain of my own so I understand and can sympathize with fellow-sufferers. If I might make a small suggestion: chicken soup AND plenty of fluids (tea, water, tea, water… you get the picture). 🙂

  2. Get well soon!
    And enjoy the time with your marmelade an a cup of tea.

    James Garner. The PI series long, long ago 😉 I remember, years before Magnum.

  3. Good one on mentioning Magnum.

    I was watching a [i]Rockford Files[/i] the other day and Tom Selleck co-starred. I didn’t get into [i]Magnum, P.I.[/i] so much. I stuck with [i]Rockford[/i], [i]Mannix[/i], [i]Hawaii 5-0[/i], [i]The F.B.I.[/i], and some others.

    The programs come across as so curious now. Men wore shorty-shorts, almost like hot pants, and women and minorities were sometimes portrayed, well, not so positively. American sedans were often ugly as hell. I don’t remember the cars looking so bad back then, but now I gasp and say, “OMG”. I would, however, love to have one to work on now,

    I especially enjoy anything that took place in 1960’s or 70’s Los Angeles. I like to look up the places that appear in the shows to see if I can find them on Google Streets and Google Earth. As a teenager, I always thought I would be pretty happy in Los Angeles. I still enjoy going there when I can. Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, are other faves.
