Day 22: Pushing Through the Day and Finally Feeling Myself Again

You know how you feel the day after you've been hungover? Or the day after you've been sick and finally able to get out of bed and get things done? You almost have this newfound appreciation for your normal self? Well that's how I feel right now. I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life! I've been so not me since I've fallen ill, but after a long couple days of toughing it out and pushing through, some tidying up and a nice hot bath (featuring Luxury Lush Pud), I feel like I'm back in action! 

I've said it all pretty much! I contemplated calling in sick for this morning's 8am shift (please refer to the photo if you want to know how I felt this morning. Spoilter alert...it wasn't good). But I'm glad I went because it turns out I wasn't the only one who was sick and 3 other people called in sick today, so if I had done so also, I don't know what they would have done. I wanted to stay longer to help but I just felt so awful and knew if I wanted to recover I couldn't burn myself out. 

Some food, a nice long nap, and another work shift later (complete with another box of chocolates) I came home and was ready to get my living space right so that I could get my head and my mood right too! And after a nice soothing lavender bath, I am ready for a good night's sleep to prepare for....my day off!!

I can't even tell you how much I am looking forward to it and I am going to try to make the next few and last days of "24 Days of Joy" as joyful as possible to make upfor the short-winded nature of the past several days. Now I'm off to have kitty cuddles before bed!

Until tomorrow!
