Sick Day

Yep, I'm sick.

I hate being sick.

Since I'm here though, I figure I might as well post in the blog. I'll give a recap of yesterday. First thing I did was go shopping for mission clothes. That's one of those things that makes me realize that yeah, this is really happening. Mom and I went to Mr. Mac to get my suit, but ended up buying most of my clothes there. They had this big mission sale that I was able to get almost all of my clothes for only 1100 bucks. Now I know that sounds outrageous but when you really think about it, it's a pretty good deal. Suits, good shoes, ties, and coats are not cheap so finding a deal like that is a steal! I even got a free tie for checking into Mr. Mac on Facebook so I'm pretty much all set to go. Well...at least I'll be dressed nice.

After that, we met up with Whitney at Costco for some shopping. Costco usually has really good samples, especially on weekends. So you'd think that the day before the Super Bowl would be packed full of delicious party food samples. It wasn't, thus leaving me hungry and disappointed. That's about where my problems began yesterday...

Since we were not filled to our satisfaction at Costco, we decided to go eat lunch at Iggy's Sports Grill. I love this place. It has really good food and huge TVs for watching sports, a real man cave. I ordered the All American Burger with chili and boy was it tasty. Only problem was afterwards, I felt awful. I felt sick to my stomach with nausea and a very achy body. We got home and I tried to solve my stomach problems, but nothing would do the trick. I finally just went and laid down, but I still had to go to work. I waited for Micah to get home from his track meet (which he broke a school record in the 4x800 relay) and we went down to work together. I did a horrible job at work because I was having a really hard time standing up. I was vacuuming a room when my legs finally gave out from under me and I had to sit against a wall and admit defeat. I was really sick and I needed to rest. 

I cancelled all of my evening plans and just stayed home. We watched Real Steel as a family and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Not only was it a really good story, but the special effects were pretty mind blowing. Those robots looked really real! Only problem with the movie was it was basically "Rocky" with robots. We started predicting what would happen next because the plot was so similar to Rocky.

So here I am now. Laying in bed, hoping that I get better quick. I can't go to work feeling like this. Temp jobs are pretty unforgiving and they have every right to be. It's basically, come to work and do your job the whole time or you're fired. How can they get away with this? If they let you go, they just take the next guy in line waiting. And there's always another guy waiting. So, I've got to get feeling better before I go tomorrow. Here's hoping.
