There must be something wrong with me

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: The Christmas Song--Tony Bennett (Snowfall 2007)

It's 7:30 in the morning. Christmas music is playing in the background. There's that little chill in the air. I'm drinking a steaming cup of coffee, and it's nice and quiet.

It's nice and quiet because I'm at the office.

And you know what's weird? I like it. The last couple of days have been so stressful for me that over the weekend my body decided to break down and get sick. I'm still recovering from a pretty bad cold, which I have now passed on to Steve (poor thing).

Then again, I really shouldn't be complaining. Thursday-ish I was feeling it and I told my body, "Just let me get through Friday and you can be as sick as you want over the weekend." I was helping my boss with her Christmas party you see, and I've never done parties.

My body thought that was a fair deal and I was the picture of health all throughout Friday evening.

Saturday morning you couldn't pry me out of bed with a crowbar. It was like my body said, "Time to collect!" And boy, it felt like it was charging interest :-). Thank God for Vicks vaporub, NyQuil, and DayQuil.

Anyway, most of the people in the building have probably taken the 24th off since it's sandwiched between the weekend and a holiday. The parking lot's empty and I doubt there's going to be more than 10 cars out here today. I can't help smiling at that thought.

On one hand I keep thinking this must make me some sort of Scrooge given the fact that I'm enjoying being at the office the day before Christmas when everyone else has taken it off. Then again, on the other hand, this is the first opportunity I've had in the last few days to just take a deep breath, listen to Christmas songs and let the Christmas spirit wash over the frenzied commercialism of the season. I'll probably be able to do more quality work today than I've been able to the last couple of days.

Bah humbug and God bless us, every one :-).
