Taking A Sick Day From Blogging

I felt completely shitty all day yesterday. I felt so bad that I went home after work (around 7:30pm) and stayed in, thus skipping the Dignan Porch concert at The EARL that I really wanted to attend. I slept for about four or so hours before waking up mid-morning (2:30am?). I was pretty awake so I attempted to watch The Amazing Race, only to find out that I couldn’t stream the episode to my iPad. I’m now at work, still feeling poorly but needing to be here in order to get things done on time.

Blech.
