sick day

My very first sick day.  Today was the first time I took a day off from the hospital.  I could have done it a million times before, but I believe that today is the first legitimate day.  I started to have colds and a sore throat 3 days prior when I saw my dad, bro, and his GF to see a documentary called Deep Sea 3D at the iMax theater.  I was already sick when I went on my first and last duty at the nursery.  I tried to get rid of it yesterday, but to no avail.  Today I was supposed to be pre-duty status at the Pedia ER, which meant monitor all the back-log patients and finish all the orders by 4:30 pm.  I thought that if I went to the hospital today, I might not get the sickness out of my system by tomorrow, when I am REALLY needed by the team, since we go on duty tomorrow.  So I slept again and woke up 12 noon, still with a cold and a fever.  I’m getting better though, no worries.  I’m still sniffing, but I’ll make it through tomorrow.  ^_^ At least after the 24 hour duty, I get another day off.  ^_^
