Day 127: I was sick today. I've picked up some kind of cold or flu and it has absolutely flattened me. Normally these things come on slowly with me...I start to get a tickle in my throat, stuffy nose, dry cough etc until it eventually evolves into a beast that only NyQuil and Vicks can combat, and usually lasts me a good week and a bit. Whatever this is skipped those first warning steps and had me in bed by 8:30 last night. Sleep-wise the night didn't go wonderfully, so I was forced to call in sick this morning. I don't like using sick days. I always feel like I'm wasting them, like I can tough it out and save the day. Today I decided to play it safe and use one, partially because I know I've got loads of them in the bank since I don't often use them, partially because I didn't want to infect my colleagues (especially after telling you all how much I like them), but mostly because I want to be well for a little trip I am taking this weekend. I *must* be well to take it, so bedwards was I. Of course I couldn't spend the entire day in bed, so I did a little laundry to keep me occupied. Which brings me to today's Happy: ironed bedsheets. All I'm going to say on the matter is: don't knock it till you've tried it. I like to iron my flat sheet (and sometimes my pillowcases) to keep them crisp and straight, and quite honestly it feels a little luxurious and like I'm spoiling myself a bit. I also find ironing very relaxing and soothing, the sigh and whoosh of the steam as it escapes it's such a pleasant sound. It appeals to my sense of order as well. So in short if you've never tried it...give it a whirl. It kind of feels like you're at a fancy hotel. And it makes me Happy. :) #365happydays
