Which brings me to now. I am amazingly down to only one or two loads of laundry left for the day. I’m not even halfway through the book though. My plan for the rest of the day is to watch bad tv while folding clothes, hope that the kid shows up, order pizza for dinner, watch tivoed Amazing Race with family. Not a bad sick day altogether. Throat still feels yucky and I think I’m going to have to go in tomorrow, which sucks. We’ll see how it goes.
