I got some sort of kid carried creeping crud of a cold on Wednesday. It came up on me all at once at work, the whole 9 -fever, cough, body aches, misery.
I am so grateful that I am in a place now that I can take a day off with pay.
I am so grateful that I could afford to go the drug store and shop indulgently for cold related items, real Nyquil, trashy book, soda, hard candy for my throat, orange juice, box of kleenex, day time cold stuff for work. Then this weekend I rented a couple of movies, read my trashy book, binge watched shows on netflix while on cold drugs, slept like 19 hours a day.
I am grateful that I had the ways and means to take care of myself when I was sick, to nuture myself and yes, even baby myself. I am so grateful for where I am in my life right now. I think I am starting to feel a little safe after living on the dire edge for a really long time. Fuckin' phew.
