What a way to spend christmas

December 25, 2007

Been mostly sick as a dog since Friday.  I think the jetlag kicked in, and I probably picked up something on the plane, or in the office Friday, cause from Friday night on, I’ve been very sick.  Saturday morning I was weaker than the writing in an in-flight magazine.  Sunday got a bit better, then Monday was bad again.  Today was so-so, though my throat is starting to really hurt, and my cough hasn’t really gone away at all.  Sleep has been crazy - not much more than 4 hours in a row since Thursday night, constantly waking up.  Hopefully I’ll be better tomorrow - got a lot of work to catch up on.  I can do some from home if need be, but I’d rather be face to face to do as much as possible.  Ugh… 

On the upside, got some really nice gifts from family members.  On the whole, there were a lot of gift certificates, but I don’t mind.  In some sense I prefer that, because I don’t often *want* things so much as *need* them throughout the year.  Sometimes there’s a *want* in there as well, but in either case, my wants/needs change over time, and I’d rather be able to make a more thought out decision, and having family members’ help in those times is great.  My brother Mark did get me a subscription to strategy+business magazine, which looks great so far.
