I spent almost the entire day in bed today. I didn't really want to, but my body wouldn't do much else. It was sunny and over 40 degrees outside today (aka t-shirt weather for central Illinois), but all I could do was get out of bed every once in awhile for another Fresca. (mmm.... Splenda-y, citrus-y goodness...)

I like to think that if I put my mind to it, I can get just about anything and everything done. As I have stated before, I like to be busy. I enjoy having almost too much to do. And throughout the month of January, I think I passed the point of "almost"- I just had plain too much to do. And when it all ended last Saturday, my body decided that I was done and I caught a cold. I gave myself a day to rest, and then tried to do business as usual the rest of the week. I could tell that I was not firing on all cylinders though. My days consisted of mostly sneezing, sniffing, and staring at emails on the computer screen, but not really having the brain power to formulate complete sentences to reply.

But besides taking a few days off of running, I didn't really change my schedule at all. I wanted to show this cold who's boss, and go on with life as usual. And I had it all planned- I'd get through the work week, get all better, and then be able to go on a run today.

But seeing as how I got out of breathe taking the car into get an oil change this morning, I figured that a run might be out. So was grocery shopping. So was any activity at all. Bah. Dammit body! Why won't you do what my brain wants you to do!?

Fortunately, there is Netflix Instant. I dried my tears of frustration at being sick with Singing in the Rain and Sleepless in Seattle. Hard work, but someone's got to do it.

Whew! All this typing's got me worn out! I think I need another Fresca...
