Well Deserved Break, Or Not

I mailed off my paperwork on tuesday, checked and double checked and triple checked. I was told it would take a little over a week to get it all sorted and sent back to me so I figured I would have a leisurely week to pack up everything, add in the things I have been told I should be sure to bring, and get ride of things ?I no longer need.  I also Thought this would give me time to do some real hard workouts to get ride of the few pounds I gained back because of all the stress eating I have been doing (terrible I know, but I couldn't help it!)

I went to bed tuesday night feeling perfectly fine and super excited about all the things I was getting done, only to wake up on wednesday feeling congested, and icky.  It wasn't to bad so I headed to work and after three hours I was completely miserable. Sore throat, stuffy head, fever, the whole shabang.  I left work and went home to sleep with the hopes that I could catch this now and it wouldn't drag on for days or weeks.  Now two days later the fever is gone, but I am still really congested and have developed a lovely deep cough.

I have wasted two day of valuable time and now the stress is back again.  I do not care.  I am going to platteville today so I can say goodbye to Jess and hit up the goodwill there for some nice work pants and maybe some tops.  When I get back I am still going to work out again, I will just have to take it easy until I feel back to normal.  The last thing I need right now is a head cold for a 22 hour plane flight.
