A Two Point Check List

I have a simple, two point check list to see how sick I am.

1. Did I walk to work?  Now, me not walking isn't of itself an indication of illness.  Sometimes I have errands to run that can't be walked to.

Which leads to the second point:

2. Where did I park once I arrived at work?  Is my car down on the street?  Then I'm fine.  Did I park as close to the back door of our office as possible?  Then I'm sick.

Today I drove.  And parked five spaces from the door.

No amount of tea and lozenges could save my voice, and after a morning of backing up phones and answering questions, I was down to a harsh whisper.

I'm taking that as a sign that I should go home and rest.  I was never so glad to step outside and see my car parked so close, getting me that much closer to home and a nest on the couch!

    1. I did! I still have no voice, which makes answering the phones impossible....

  4. One good thing about being so far behind on my reading is that by the time I get the news that you're sick, you're probably already better. Here's hoping so, anyway.
