I'm Sick

March 19, 2008 12:51 AM

y throat started feeling scratchy and raw last night. When I woke up this morning, I knew I was getting sick. All day at work today, I knew things were going to get worse. By the time I was driving home after my last court appearance, I was feeling full-on terrible.

I called my mom tonight because I had forgotten to make my weekly call on Sunday. As soon as she heard my voice, she asked me if I was sick. I told her that I was. And I haven't missed my mommy more in months.

Anyway, it's just a cold and it'll be gone in a few days, but I hate being sick. And while one of the theoretical advantages of being your own boss is setting your own schedule, one of the drawbacks of being an attorney is that your schedule is often dictated by the courts and your clients. That's why I'll spend tomorrow not resting at home as I'd like but, rather, driving almost two hours each way to see a client that has a hearing next week.

Sweet.

Working while sick sucks. If you're congested, pray for non-viscous snot, or better yet, none at all. Nothing kills a relationship like a snot suspension bridge running from your nose to your finger.

Wait, wait. How many ACL surgeries have you had? I'll take the occasional cold over major invasive surgery with protracted recoveries any day.
