home sick

Sometime yesterday, my sneezing and running nose turned into a sinus headache. I took aspirin and went to bed early, and woke up with the headache again.

More aspirin, shower, dressed, tea. I wasn't sure of whether to go to work, but figured a bit of a walk in the sunshine couldn't hurt.

In the course of that, I realized that if this were a real job that I'd had for a bit, and I felt like this, I'd call in sick; that there isn't much to lose on a three-week proofreading assignment; there's a lot of small print involved in this work; and they seem to be generally impressed with my efficiency and skills. So we went back home after looking at the Spring flowers, and I called my contact to explain that I won't be in today, but will try for tomorrow.

So I will take it easy, do a bit of job-hunting stuff (maybe), and try to remember to go to bed early again.
