not so bad

Well, I am not altogether better, but I am not nearly as depressed as I was yesterday when I wrote that post…and my Dad told me that, yes, when sick, we are bound to feel sad and hopeless and overwhelmed.

So I slept 1/2 the day again, which was great! I can’t believe how much I have been sleeping. I mean I always sleep when I’m sick, but this is way more than usual. I kind of like it, but sometimes my brain tells me I’m being lazy. But I’m not, dang-it, no, I’m just healing.

Then late in the afternoon I went into work for some short meetings which turned out to be very superfluous and that kind of irritated me.

But then…(insert drum roll here)…my work made a nice gesture. And I am hoping the gesture will ease my stress a bit and help me organize my gargantuan workload. ‘Cause really, I know I have the ability, I just need some coaching and guidance from our fabulous COO, who is helping us all so much!

Thank goodness for very observant people in times of need! And thank you all for the well wishes and kind words for a speedy recovery. I’m on my way, now I just have to make sure I don’t jump out of bed so quickly that it comes back…

sick and sad, but home…

In Houston, a really mean bug finally took me over. I was working my tail end off with a 101 degree temperature. I finally had to shirk my Monday duties and fly home early. Talk about feeling miserable. There is nothing like having a fever and having trouble breathing while staying at the Holiday Inn in Texas. Luckily, the guys in the restaurant were very nice and brought me some chicken noodle soup and grapefruit juice to my room. (I ordered it, of course, but it still felt nice of them).

I am back home now and feeling so utterly sad and hopeless. I am hoping it’s simply due to my feeling so under the weather, but I can’t help but wonder if my emotional state is more authentic due to my weakened state. Overwhelmed is an understatement for how I am feeling at my job right now.

And I still have no pictures because it seems I have lost my camera battery. I looked up buying a new one online and they cost so much I might as well just buy a new camera, seeing as mine has so many problems anyway.

Any suggestions for a new digital camera? I don’t need a ton of bells and whistles, just a nice, zoom in, zoom out, point and shoot, upload.

i’m in Chi-town

I have been in Chicago since Tuesday. I was scared to come here for fear my Los Angeles body would freeze to death, but it has actually been beautiful! No snow storms, but still very crisp and cold. Although I did wear my sunglasses today, so it’s awesomely perfect.

Two things have been bugging me since arriving.

The first is that I left my camera battery at home (I think - or it’s lost). It sucks because I’ve been seeing some very interesting things to photograph, but alas the picture remain in my head and I cannot share them.

The second thing that has been bugging me is that I keep getting bloody noses. Yes. Just call me ‘Bloody Nose Baker’. It’s because it’s so dry here and I keep sniffing. It’s kind of funny and then, kind of not.

Funny thing, in my frequent cab rides around town, I have been privy to a variety of taxi cab odors, from the delicious, to the one that makes you hungry, to the one that made you want to throw up. And they all listen to NPR radio, which rocks.

One more day here and then off to Houston for the weekend…for work…

Ah the busy life of women’s fitness.
