Sick Christmas

I hope I’m not starting a new personal tradition. Like last year, I got nice and sick before Christmas. This year, I scheduled two weeks off from work — the first break I’d had since returning, and the first vacation time I’d had in a couple of years. The first day of the break started fine with my birthday, then the next day I started getting sick. I was in bed for five days before it started getting better. I was improving by Christmas, but not fully recovered. Any thoughts of traveling for the holidays were shot as I was pretty non-functional for a week. Bah-humbug. Hopefully next year will go better.
