Wed Workout: zzzzzzzz

Dana and I both have awful colds - cough, low grade fever, chest, etc. So it looks like that asthma attack I had on Sunday was actually the start of a cold or possibly some bronchitis. I made it to the gym the last three days in a row but taking off from my workout this morning and resting up. The last 2 were a real struggle.. got in 25 min of light cardio both days. I woke up at 2am and stayed awake until 5am. Then went back to sleep for a few hours. Now up again at 8. Going to head into work around 10 or so. I have not had a cold this bad in a long time. Matter of fact I was just looking at my payroll online this morning and I got the $100 bonus for not taking any sick time all of last year!!! Yeay!! Not sure how I managed that one. I have stored up over 90 hours of sick time, 8 hours of holiday time, and 53 hours of vacation time. Good to know as I am sure I will need it when I finally get approved for surgery. Updated my profile journal on my latest status. I should be hearing an update again from HR today. Keep your fingers, eyes, nose, and toes all double and triple crossed for me once again today!!!!!!!!! Had lunch with another OHer yesterday, Barbara M. Very nice person and in the same stage as me. Also likes to workout already, loves dogs, has same insurance, waiting for approval, and has same surgeon. She was suppose to hear a decision from them yesterday afternoon. I told her to come visit us on these boards. Once again... it is so nice to meet such amazing people with so many similarities!! I'm going to through us all a big re-birthday party at my place when we are on the other side. Maybe do some sort of spa day party theme. I can't wait until we are all on the other side sipping our protein shakes together! Tammy.. you will have to come from PA for that one =) Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Rest up, hope you feel better soon.

Thanks!! Taking the extra C, Zicam, and drinking fluids until I float away. On a totally unrelated note... Do you ever use the DaVinci No Sugar Syrups? I just ordered the sugar free toasted marshmellow one today. Going to try a splash in my morning shake or skim milk latte. Yummy! http://www.davincigourmet.com/ if you want to check them out online.

Yes, they are awesome, enjoy.
