Things I hate: being sick. Even when I don't actually feel sick.

I felt an encroaching cold yesterday, making my nose start to run and the back of my throat feel raw, so I figured I'd go to bed early and try to sleep it off.

I slept for freaking thirteen hours. Then after only five hours of being awake, I had to go take a three hour nap. And I fully plan to sleep another eleven hours before going to work on Wednesday.

It seems to be working -- my throat feels almost back to normal, my nose hasn't been running as much, I've hardly sneezed at all today, the weird joint aches never really got a chance to settle in, etc. Sleep is the best medicine, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the saying goes.

...

I just wish this didn't always seem to happen on my days off! I wanted to go see Star Trek: Into Darkness today! I wanted to do laundry and repot some peppers and go to the library and a bunch of other things!

Alas for my good intentions. :-/

It totally sucks having to use a day off in sleeping yourself well, but at least it worked and you're not miserable. *pets you*

That is most unfair, re:the days off!
I'm glad you got the sleep, though because it's true about it being a great medicine. Cheers, for a more satisfying time next day off!
