After a night of Nyquil-induced dreams of a cartoon Hillary Clinton and an 80s-era Nancy Reagan, I called my boss to let her know that I would not be at the office. Even the shortened walk around the block for Ted made my head spin, so the thought of sitting through my commute and holding vigil at my desk was hardly feasible. I’m having a hard time distinguishing the fog from my cold medicine and the cotton balls that have replaced my brain. My ears are buzzing, I can’t breathe in through my nose, and I’m going through boxes of tissues at an alarming rate. My heavy breathing is punctuated by wimpy, non-committal coughs and insistent sniffles. In short, I am a mess.
It happened. I crossed my fingers all winter long, but today, during the onset of spring, I have finally been forced to take my first sick day. If anyone needs me, I will be on the couch in an appealing cloud of chamomile and menthol. Heck, barring a miracle combination of liquigels and chicken noodle soup, I’ll be here even if no one needs me.

Sick days are no fun. Hope you get better soon!
Gaaah! Not cool, at all. Lots of soup and tea and NyQuil should get you fixed up quick.
Feel better dearie!

I hope you are starting to feel better. Please get plenty of rest, and think of the rest of us while spending your days on the couch with Makeover Story to entertain you.
Aww… get better! Take as many sick days as you need.
Aww man.

Puppies are really good for cuddling with when you’re sick.
Feel better soon!
