I have decided there needs to be a list of rules for being sick. At the top of the list is - you are not allowed to get sick on holidays, especially long weekend holidays when it is absolutely gorgeous outside. If you have to be sick, the least you can do is be sick when it is miserable and rainy out and everyone else is either at work or school.
Next on the list is whatever work you have to do will magically disappear. It will not pile up so that being sick for 3 days means you have 6 days of stuff to catch up on. Whatever work there is will be sucked up into a black hole and just go away.
Most important - medicines that are supposed to make you feel better will actually work. Decongestant will enable you to breathe again. Pain killers will enable to you lift your head off the pillow without feeling like your entire head is about to explode.
And now, since I did absolutely nothing for pretty much 4 days, I will be drowning in paperwork for the rest of the week…
