I felt pretty lousy last night and decided to stay home today, hoping I'd be able to kick this cold if I took it easy. I do feel a bit better physically, which perversely makes me feel guilty about not going in. Which is, in its turn, ridiculous: I have plenty of paid time off to spare. Mentally, I'm not doing so well: I'm unable to settle to doing anything productive and in fact have felt fretful and restless all day. I think giving myself a day off has allowed me to think a little too much, letting all my fears about the future prey upon my mind. I do keep them at bay most of the time. Just not today. Not sure if I'll go to karate tonight.

What I did yesterday and today to make the world a better place: I talked with my church's financial officer yesterday about our request for a small grant to assist the girls and me for our trip to Mexico (to pay for our meals on the road). I'd spoken to our pastor about this previously. Wrote the email today and received a reply from the pastor, letting us know that the grant has been approved. That's a relief, and we're very grateful to the church for their assistance.

Fretful and restless is part of being sick.

Don't feel guilty, remember, you're being considerate by not sharing your germs with everyone!

You are totally awesome.

Headcold makes it really hard to do anything productive, and not to fret.

I always do that: I take it easy to feel better, then I feel better so I feel guilty for taking it easy. Duh. But I know exactly what you mean.

I hope you can settle your mind.
