Burn Up and Burn Out

I slept in until Eaddie started getting ready for school. Even after that, I laid in bed for a while longer. I felt a little bit better, but still had a fever for most of the day. I got around and warmed up some chicken strips to eat with the leftover gravy. The gravy was starting to turn, and the chicken took longer to warm up than I expected, but eventually I got it all in me.

My cough had worsened a bit, but the aches and chills subsided. I mostly laid around in bed all day, but eventually took a shower with some Vicks and then took the Onewheel to Walgreens to pick up an online order of more chicken strips. I prefer the raw ones, but these have been conveniently on sale.

Eaddie got home just as I was leaving, and when I got back from Walgreens, she asked how long I would be there. Evidently my existence in my home was bothering her as she practiced flute.

Summer ended up having to close the shop for one of her employees, so I took her some Burger King and talked with her for a bit before heading back home. I was still hungry from just being sick the past day, so I stopped and got a fish sandwich from Arby’s. Eaddie had asked to go study with friends, so I laid around the house alone until Summer got home.

I still had a little bit of a fever, so I called in to work again for another day. No sense in bringing that to work with me, and Kim didn’t have any problem texting me with questions she should have been able to answer on her own. At least I should be over this by spring break.

He said what?
