another day at home

I am not entirely well, but enough better that I have been working from home today (as have a number of healthy coworkers, because we had some significant snow overnight); yesterday and Tuesday I didn't have the focus for that. Tomorrow, I expect to be back at the office, and pulled off my book for another online project. So it goes.

I called Emilie and told her I will not be seeing her tomorrow; I'm up for stretches, but still coughing some, and my chest hurts a little, so unnecessary exertion (like cardio bikes and weight lifting) seems like a bad idea. I was outside for a few minutes, to look at the snow and to get a blueberry muffin, which I brought back here and ate with a cup of tea while working.

If I was well I would probably have gone in; it's not a huge amount of snow, and seems to have been plowed quickly, with no interruption to subway service. As is, if I hadn't been able to work from home I would likely have taken another sick day; being able to think and focus doesn't mean being out and about would have been prudent.

When not coughing (and I am coughing only rarely, though that may be due to medication), I am breathing smoothly, which is good.
