So, yes, it’s true, I’ve been sick. I was so sick on Monday that my boss actually sent me home! I was debating going in that day because I felt so ill getting ready, but I wasn’t sure how much sick leave I had, plus I didn’t want to leave work hanging. But I guess I looked super tired and sick, and sounded terrible, so they sent me home. Also, we had an audit the next day that I had to be here for, so my boss wanted me to be “healthy” the next day. Sadly, I wasn’t much better, but any sleep helped, I’m sure.


The day after, Wednesday, was quite an interesting day. Disconcerting during, but hilarious after. My previous post showed that I was relying on DayQuill to get me through. It makes you feel better, but at a price. I have never had this reaction to it before, but I was absolutely loopy at work. I felt incredibly disconnected in my mind and when I was talking to people during consults, I would sometimes wonder what was going on, and what I just said to them. Apparently I had some spelling mistakes in my notes too. Anyway, it was kind of funny because that day I was on Amazon and made two rather bizarre purchases. Does anyone remember the TV show Wishbone? Well, now I own a DVD of 4 episodes. And the entire Ramona Quimby book collection (which are actually very cute books). The only reason I drove home safe that night was because I decided not to take another dose around 3, so by 6:30 it had pretty much worn off. Crazy crazy day!

Since then I’ve been sleeping every chance I get, I think I’m pretty much better. I also spent Saturday spending WAY WAY too much at the Park City Outlets. I had always said that when I got my first real job, I would spend the entire first paycheck on a shopping trip. I didn’t do that at the time, but I got pretty close this weekend….. And now I am not quite sure how to fit everything in my closet.

In final news for today, I thought I would post this picture. It’s not a great picture, but it was nighttime. I don’t think I mentioned that I bought a new car on this blog-o-mine. Well I did. It is a Hyundai Elantra, of the 2010 silver variety. I was thisclose to buying a new one, but my uncle who works at Larry H Miller connected me to a dealer who “gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” (get it?with the picture?). It is zippy and shifts in to next gear easily, a definite advantage over ol’ Jane. I do miss Jane though. I miss her soft beige seats and her low proximity to the ground. But mostly I miss her red color that was so distinctive. I walk right past my new silver car every single time I come out of a store. Which is kind of embarrassing when people watch me backtrack. Anyway, the point of this is that the Elantra is a very popular car now because Hyundai is stepping up their game and making quality cars all the sudden. Last night I parked between two other Elantras. It was a good thing that I left the restaurant pretty late because I’m almost positive I would have tried to get into one of them instead of my own!
