Thurs 30 Aug

I'm very excited to be taking a sick day today! I was able to arrange for someone to cover my Intake shift, and the only afternoon appointment I had already scheduled was tentative anyway. I plan to rest, and will even call Dr. Munck's office to see if they think I need to come in and evaluate whether it might be bronchitis requiring treatment. I very much want to be past the worst of this before we leave on vacation next week Sunday. It is still difficult for me to accept not exercising or hiking today. I may give in to a little strength training if I don't feel it will tire me excessively. Shaved and groomed, toenails repainted. Using the down time to accomplish those little things there never seems to be time for. Keeping watch on the house temp; if it starts to climb too much with the predicted heat, I may switch on the A/C now so I can turn it off later. Bad girl! Lazy afternoon with next-to-no physical activity and I gave into hot weather desire to finish the last of Laura's Crash flurry. Oh, well.
