My lost week

While most people were making resolutions and getting organized and dusting off gym memberships, I was slowly succumbing to what I thought was just a cold. It started Sunday night with the tell tale post nasal drip in the back of my throat. And as each day went on, the symptoms progressed and changed. By Wednesday I was a hot (literally) mess of ill. Fever. Achy. Ugh.

On Monday, I was so caught up with trying to not be sick that I neglected to take a photo. I figured I'd make it up on Tuesday, no big deal. But then no picture was taken on Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or Friday. I was just too sick to even think about it.

Today I decided that instead of letting those five days of no pictures completely derail my photo-a-day project, I would reconstruct my lost week by taking photos of the things I may have taken a photo of each day. And I used the camera on my phone since that's what I would have done in light of being sick and not having the time or energy to be artistic.

Monday

I should have started the Zicam on Sunday at the first "sign" of illness (as the instructions indicate) but I waited until Monday and alas, it was too little, too late.

Tuesday

By the end of the day, my nose was sore, red, and chapped from blowing it so much that even these Kleenex Cool Effects tissues especially formulated for raw noses felt like sandpaper to my battered and abused nose.

Wednesday

One of the best perks of working from home is being able to work from your bed if needed, and I needed to!

Thursday

Yes, I'm drinking lots and lots of water!

Friday

Drugs. Finally. (Diagnosis: Upper Respiratory Infection)

I'm all caught up! I even stepped outside for a few minutes this afternoon and took some photos with my dSLR.

Saturday

Lost week, recovered!
