Lost Days

Although I seem to be finally emerging from the fog of the last few days, things are still a bit unstable. It certainly feels like I've just lost a few days altogether. The fever has subsided, but with a head that feels like it is full of jello, I'm not quite ready for prime time just yet. How convenient that I could schedule this little patch of illness for the holidays rather than use some of the sick leave time that I routinely leave on the table each year at work. The university is closed between Christmas and New Year's, so except for the occasional emails following up on ongoing issues, this would be a prime opportunity to enjoy some nice rides during daylight hours, catch up on work around the house, and generally kick back a bit and enjoy the season. The weather today is quite nice, so around noon I though I'd venture outside for a short walk and to see if I felt up to little ride. I guess not. The combination of this head cold and the drugs still has me feeling generally colder than the temperature justifies, and things are a little shaky yet, but at least I'm heading in the right direction. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be up for at least part of the morning levee ride.
