So I'm thinking my general malaise over the past couple days might have been me coming down with something - I felt horrible yesterday, and today I woke up with a fever and sore throat. I didn't want to take a sick day, so I did something you're completely not supposed to do, and pilfered Pat's antibiotics that he didn't finish awhile back. I feel better, but I'm coughing a lot and I feel kind of achy. I think this will be a resting weekend, for real.

Part of why I went in to work today is because today was Law Day, and I figured having someone feed me a hot meal and sitting in a chair for two hours would not be too taxing. Which it wasn't. And it was at the bayfront convention center, so that was cool to see.

Tonight we have no plans, and I plan to try to rest as much as I can. Pat called and said my elliptical machine was in pieces, and did I know where the manual is? (He was trying to get it to not make a squeaky sound it makes.) I think not working is driving him crazy - yesterday I came home and he had sanded off half of our new living room table that had nicks in it so he can refinish it. He is supposed to go back to work on Tuesday, for real, so I think that will be good for him.

I can't figure out why Britney Spears goes to a gym. She's always hit with paparazzi taking her picture, and she could have a custom gym and a trainer at home if she wanted. Maybe she just likes to get out of the house.
