Whew! Sick Leave This Week

Dang, I just got knocked off my feet by the nastiest upper respiratory infection (URI) that I've had since I was a kid, probably. I was fighting off a cold (mostly unsuccessfully) since Fri. the 27th, and last Fri. night at my gig I started coughing, which worsened throughout the day on Sat. Chills/fever forced me home on Sat. evening and on Sun. morning my boyfriend forced me to the grocery-store clinic where they gave me antibiotics and sent me home to bed, where I stayed from Sun-Tues. Finally yesterday I felt well enough to move from the bedroom to the couch downstairs, and got back to work today. I still have a lingering cough but each day is better and better. I've only got a couple more lessons to finish for this 2-steppin' thing, and hope to get to it in a (business) day or 2.
