Perpetual Ruminations

Thursday

All in all, it was a pretty good day. I got done an hour early at work, but ended up not getting out of work until two hours later than normal. But, that's the way it goes sometimes, and if the new guy we started training today works out, it's work a couple hours of my time.

I also did some shopping, then came home and had a nice lunch. I had planned on doing some more paperwork for my job, but I was so tired that I ended up taking about an hour nap. I didn't sleep well last night, and haven't in quite some time. Part of it is this cold or what ever I have. As soon as I lie down, I start coughing and get all stuffed up. Also, I was running a fever again last night, and would go from being so hot I was sweating, to freezing shills, and bundling into the quilt. This has been typical for the last week or so.

But, on a positive note, I feel a lot better today. I'm still kind of stuffed up, and the cough is still hanging in, but I haven't felt feverish all day, and my throat isn't so sore anymore. Hopefully I'm on the downward swing of this virus or what have you.

On top of just feeling better, if this new guy works out and passes his test tomorrow, I will only have to work three days before getting a break. I have Sunday off, then will go in on Monday to assist the new trainee as needed. He will do an opening shift, and work until nine, I will just hang around and answer questions and help out if he has any problems, then I get to leave when he does. I won't have to be back, unless there's some kind of problem, until Thursday. that should give me a nice break to rest up and finish getting over this.

For now, it's late, I have to be up early, and I'm going to go relax in my recliner and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with my beautiful wife before retiring for the evening.
