I got the flu the other night. Woke up at one a.m. and was up and down the rest of the night. By 4:50 a.m. I had already texted my boss to let him know that I had slim to none odds of being at work that morning. After a very long day of sleeping and crying, I finally got some ibuprofen in me around 3:30 p.m.. I ate some applesauce around 9:30 p.m, and slept the rest of the night away. I am still in bed, trying hard to get as rested as possible. I am super bummed because tonight my derby team is cross training at the ice rink. In all honesty, I REALLY REALLY want to be there. So much, that I would go even if I wasn't better. I am going to suck it up and not go though, so I can be strong for the few days this week I have to make any money at all. This next weekend, there is a derby clinic that lots of girls from Cali are going to. There are eight girls from my team who are going. We have two double queen rooms booked (one with a microwave and refrigerator) and their is a hot tub on site to relax our aching bones in. So, derby Fri/Sat/Sun for clinic, then driving back home and heading to derby with our team by 8:30 p.m. Whoa! That is a lot of time on wheels in three days! Oh well, I need it. Just one more reason why I should be staying home tonight and not overdoing it. I am super bummed because I have been so looking forward to it. I am also bummed because I haven't worked out in two days now. Maybe I can do some light Yoga tonight since I have been bedridden for two days.
