Working but not feeling the greatest....

One of the drawbacks of working from home is that I really do NOT have a reason to call in sick.  As long as I can sit here and answer the phone for 8 hours..LOL

I was out of energy yesterday, then by late afternoon got a headache and was cold. I actually napped from 5 - 6p.m. Made dinner, but dishes did not get done. I have a wonderful chaise lounge in the living room. I camped out in that last evening and watched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and knitted a bit.  I got up this morning still with a headache. Now, this is serious folks- I COULD NOT DRINK MY COFFEE! It upset my tummy, so I sipped on water.  I camped out in my chair again  but did NOT feel like knitting (I told you this was getting serious!) By Noon I had taken 6 ibuprofen and was starting to feel some relief. By 12:30 I felt like having soup and crackers. By the time I had to work at 2 pm. I was feeling human again. I even had a cup of coffee at 3..LOL

I guess it was a migraine, although it was a bit different from ones I have had in the past. I do not take migraine medication like my daughter deos. I only get 2-3 a year, where she gets 3-4 a month.

I am just SO glad to be feeling better. I am sticking with soup again for supper.

Aww, sorry to hear that. I had soup for dinner, too, with turnips and mixed veggies.

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I get migraines sometimes, but not too often as long as I stay away from artificial sweeteners.

Could be sinus headaches. Sometimes they can make you almost as ill as a migraine. This time of year I get them a lot.

take care, and hopefully you'll be 100% soon

netty, i totally relate to being sick, but because you work from home, it's kinda silly to call in.... although, a couple of times when i could barely get out of bed, let alone sit at the computer, i've HAD to call in!! take care of yourself! :)

I am glad you are feeling better. I sure wish I could do a phone job at home.

My son and daughter in law both work online from home. It takes a lot of self discipline that I DON'T HAVE, but they do. At least for the week I stayed with them they did. And, yes, they could work in their "jammies," but like you, they worked through sickness, through breakfast, through lunch, through "breaks," and WAY more than 8 hours.
Jeanna S. Apr 18, 2009, 8:29am EDT
Hope you are feeling better!! I've had those days too! But I had to come in to work! lol What is it you do Netty? Sounds like something I've been looking into! Working from home answering phones. I do it here, why not at home!! lol
