5/365 - bless this mess.

January 5, 2011

Since I've been sick, all I've been doing is working and sleeping. So my house looks like that.
I wish all I was doing was sleeping, but one of my New Year's Resolutions (i'll get to those) is to have perfect (or near perfect) attendance at work. Now, while I did show up all week sick as a dog, I didn't say I wasn't absolutely begging to go home. But apparently this wasn't a possibility because I am the girl who cried wolf.... with proof of doctor's notes.

No, no, I jest... I get it. I miss a lot of work. But I am sick a lot. And that's one of the things I am working on turning around. My new routine when I get off work is to get in my car, slather my hands with hand sanitizer to try not to carry mess home with me, change clothes as SOON as I get home (I never did this before!!!), never sit on my couch or anywhere in my house wearing my uniform, and start Lysol-ing everything. It may sound anal, but I have spent more time sick in this past year working at this daycare that I have... ever. I used to get like, one cold each winter. I got strep throat, asthmatic bronchitis, and the stomach flu for the first time ever, and the last 2 in the same month.

So, I'm shooting for getting sick less. Among other things.
Oh, and getting my motherfreaking house clean. Eventually.
