Calling in Sick

I did something I do not do often, although have done more in the last few months than I ever have in my working life.  I called in sick today.  I did not feel good at work yesterday, and by the afternoon, it was all I had to be able to walk the halls and sit at my desk and do documentation. But I stuck it out.

When I got up this morning, I just could not pull myself together. I fed the cats and showered, but in the shower decided this was crazy; I have plenty of sick leave, and if I could hardly get through a shower, how did I think I could get through the day?  So I called in (actually emailed in.)  My boss is so supportive, and asked if I needed anything she could bring by.  So kind.  I keep pretty well stocked with soups and drinks and medicine.   I took a couple of aspirin, and slept on the sofa, reading intermittently, but mostly sleeping until early afternoon, 2 PM or so.   By then, I was feeling better.   

And, I feel better tonight than what I felt last night.  Hopefully, I will be okay in the morning.  I am not sure why I get so worn out.  I was just at the doctor, but I may need to go back and complain about this heaviness and feeling of being worn out.
