I like infectious diseases, crafts, and food. Probably in that order. Jersey girl, NOLA expat, now a Portlander.

Not smallpox! 😝 Just some respiratory thing that’s been making me miserable for over a week.

Still dealing with this respiratory crud, but I had enough of an appetite to eat a full meal at dinner, so maybe things are starting to turn the corner?

Definitely a ghost. Hope you didn’t get dinged up too bad!

Doctor says I should work half days for the rest of the week. Just capped off today with a 2 hour budget meeting. 😵‍💫

That article is paywalled, but I’m sure it’s possible. Lots of viruses going around.

I think I got over that and then got infected with a new, worse virus. 🦠

I honestly can’t remember a time in my adult life that I’ve been this sick. Fever for 7 days straight. Negative for all the usual suspects: COVID, Flu, RSV. 🤒 Going back to the doctor tomorrow.

After a week of letting me breathe on him, it appears the bf has caught whatever evil thing I have. I just sent him out to get some zinc (and saltines and ginger ale for me).

Oh no! I finished reviewing the documents and am not firmly planted in the couch. Ready to watch The Price is Right tomorrow.

Not gonna get better if I’m stressing about these documents all day tomorrow. I can knock them out in a couple hours today and I’m feeling well enough to do so right now.

Unfortunately, we need to get them in to leadership for approval by tomorrow! I’m currently reviewing the drafts so my team can clean them up in the morning. (Doctor didn’t say anything about working today!)

Doctor: Don’t go to work tomorrow.
Me: But it’s grant season!

I’ve been sick basically since I got home from NOLA. Boyfriend is making me go to the doctor. Fine.

Luckily the changes aren’t major, but what a pain! And we thought we were doing so well getting the app done way ahead of the due date.

One of our federal grants is due next week. My team finalized the documents yesterday so they can go up the bureaucratic chain for approval. Just this morning I received a note from the grants manager that they’ve updated the application guidelines. 😑

Bear liver.
You don’t even need to buy that. You can just pick it up off the side of the road!

My cousin is a teacher in Texas and this happened to a student of hers a couple years ago. She accidentally put a White Claw in her bag thinking it was a Celsius. Such an easy mistake to make when the cans look similar!

Trying to will myself off the couch to walk 4 blocks in the rain for more cold medicine.

I once saw a parking enforcement officer put a ticket on a *city vehicle* parked in front of City Hall. They have no mercy!

I guess not! Half of my team got taken out by it in the middle of grant season and legislative session! 🤧
