Taking the day off

[worldoflucky]

The last two days I have been commuting out to Skykomish. Its about an 1.5 hour (or a little less) commute each way and I get gas reimbursement and exchange time for it. Its a nice drive, but by the end of the day I put in at least 11 hours and it does make me a bit tired. This is why last two days I hadn't done any working out. The wife and I plan to remedy this on Thursday, get in a good workout before going down to Dying Light on Friday.

I woke up this morning at 1:30 am. I was so hot and sweaty that I couldn't handle myself. I also was coughing a lot. Great, a fever and a cough not a good sign. I should have figured this was what was happening, yesterday my nose wouldn't quit running. Now its 3:00am and I am no longer too hot and my cough is subsiding, I think I am going to call in sick as I still am not on top of my game. I will probably work a little bit from home.

I realized this morning, this event will be the last event I take the whole Friday off. This is because after this Friday (at least until July) ethicalcannibal has school until noon. It means I can work a half day at least each Friday instead of blowing a vacation/exchange day to head down for Dying Light. Don't get me wrong, loving DL, I just hate blowing a vacation day so I can sit down at the park until 4pm or later until people show. This way I can save more vacation for other things that don't require waiting for people to show up. I have a ton of stuff for plot planned this weekend, unfortunately I haven't been able to talk to my two main plot guys to go over the stuff, will have to have an impromptu meeting when they get there Friday night. The cool thing is I have a ton of plot volunteers, I will have to divvy them over the weekend, but I am stoked about that. Especially since at least the first few games I wont be as mobile with the still healing ankle.

In good news, combining our tax return and extra hours put in at work we were able to pay back about $1,000 on our credit card this month. Slightly less than 10%, but it was an awesome feeling (we are mostly worried about paying the two Chase credit cards used for medical/moving, the revolving line of credit has decent interest and the credit union is cool so we aren't so stressed about that). YAY!!!

Oh, and to just share with everyone, I love my wife (ethicalcannibal ) I don't think I publicly shout this enough, so here I am shouting it again.

I hope you're not getting TehPlague™. I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics! Have I ever mentioned just how AWESOME it is that you love your wife so much? :) :) :))

Thank you, I really can't imagine my life without her, she is my best friend, only desired lover, fellow gamer, and so much more. I am pretty sure when we get old, if she goes first I wont last very long after her.

I love her, too, and love that you love her and that you guys are so happy together! I would really like to have that someday. In fact, if I can't have that, I don't think I really want romance at all. (I am an all or nothing person.) I know you guys certainly face your challenges, but I think it's all worth it.

Not so good about being sick tho (at least in the short-term--it's good for your immune system tho! :). Hope you take as much time as you need to rest!!

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling sick. That sucks, especially right before event. I hope you feel better soon! And I hope the event is a great one. I'm sorry I can't go.
Take care and I definitely agree that your wife is awesome. :)

The sickness, I banish it!

Well, I can hope at any rate.

Have a blast at DL, and remember to constantly remind yourself how much cooler it'd be if we could be up there with you. 20-30 times a day should suffice. ;)

Oh, we already know how much cooler life would be with you guys around us. Trust me, we know it :)
