Finding the upside, even when it's feverish

Okay! Top 3’s for Tuesday and Wednesday.

 4/23/13

Tuesday I was grateful to have a fantastic hilarious roommate that I can share so many laughs with. I love that we love and embrace each other’s crazy. Sometimes we even encourage it. I was also so excited that my soccer team had their first win, even though I was in bed asleep when it happened. Lastly, I’m happy to see my own growth. Tuesday I could feel a cold coming on, and by late afternoon, I was wishing for my bed. A few years ago I would have dosed myself with cold meds and went to my 9pm soccer game anyway. I would have refused to take any time off, and been sicker for longer. Instead, I was in bed by 8pm, and although Wednesday didn’t show it, I know it was the right decision. I’m about 50% back to normal, and I know that’s because I took the time my body needed, instead of pushing through.

Wednesday, I was even sicker then Tuesday. So I was glad to have a job where I can take time off when I need it. Where it is encouraged not to come in when you’re sick. Actually encouraged, not just something that’s said, but actually counted against you later. My boss has called in sick with a lot more frequency than I have. This was actually my first sick day, and it was painful to break that perfect record. I’m also happy to have an adorable pup to hang with me all day and a roommate that’s not afraid to go with me to get Jamba Juice since “those germs don’t work on me, I’m a nurse”.

I did not take any pictures yesterday, so here are some pictures that Bentley wanted you to see.
