Been doing ok

Taking a break from work; had bronchitis and sinus infection and thankfully recovered but work requested that I take a Covid test just in case. The test came back negative - which both my doctor and I knew it would be - and submitted it to work. Work requested that I take another week off since I was still hacking up my lungs. Thankfully they suggested that I take more time off as I went back to the doctor earlier this morning as the sinus infection came back with a vengeance. 

Went to the pharmacy after visiting the doctor the other day to pick up an antibiotic and a nasal spray (yuck!) and take my meds when I got home. I did have some soup (I only eat soup when I’m 😷). I eventually took a 3 hour nap - partially because I slept like shit the previous night and partially because of being sick. If I have the energy after dinner, I might make Jell-O. My grandparents - my mother’s parents - always made Jell-O for us when my siblings and I were sick/feeling under the weather. 

I was able to reach out to a few friends as I had more free time. It was awesome to talk with them as it had been a few weeks since we last chatted. One is pregnant again and the other one has another cancer scare again; she dealt with thyroid cancer twice before and she began to feel unwell and felt a little swelling near where she has her thyroid taken out. The one side is fine and the other side gets a re-check in March of 2022. Today is also her birthday.

Started work today to help me get back into the swing of thinks. Everyone was happy to see me and a few gave me a hug. My top 3 favorite male coworkers came over to chat with me; the one that's #1 is in IT and such a sweet man as well as hilarious, smart and overall wonderful person, the others are two are tied at #2.....they're pretty darn great people, freaking hilarious, smart,  see me as their kid sister - although we're all close in age - and look out for me. My favorite female coworker is a woman in HR - she bends over backward to help anyone who needs assistance, amazing person, total sweetheart, kind hearted and always there for everyone. I was talking with someone at work today; I explained that I knew that in reality that all the employees are great and feels like a family but to an outsider - new employee's first day or someone delivering something - would think that everyone is a bunch of close knits friends and the coworker that I was talking with agreed with me.
