It's a nice day in New York. The new year seems to be starting off quite well. Work has slowed down a little. I may actually get to spend more time at the gym. Now, if only this gigantic cold sore and head cold would just go away.

I feel shitty. It's that hazy feeling of having a cold but no coughing or congestion. My head is feeling stuffy. The cold sore is in full bloom with just enough of an itch to be irritating. I know, I know... too much information.

I still am going in to work. I am sure that this cold sore will be my ticket to staying away from doing customer service in the front of my department. I get to be in back, away from it all, just producing. This is a far cry from when I was teaching group exercise classes full-time when I would show up no matter what. I even showed up to teach class the day after 9-11 with a severely pulled calf. And all with a smile. :)

For some reason, I don't feel like I need to call in sick at this new job. I need to explore that more before I say why. Maybe I really do like this job. Later.
