Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
I ended up staying home yesterday. The right side of my throat had started hurting about 2 days after I got back. It was pretty sore by Tuesday but I otherwise didn't feel too bad, still just a little tired but I chalked that off to residual jet lag. By Wednesday the soreness had migrated towards the center of my throat and the headache started at work. By yesterday morning, my whole throat was swollen and sore and I was exhausted. I napped most of the day and kept gargling with warm salt water and sipping hot homemade ginger tea and drinking ice cold ginger water. I feel much better this morning so I'm going to work today to make up for missing yesterday.
Luckily, my office is an old storage closet under the stairs so I can isolate from others pretty well. All will get fair warning to stay outside my office when they come for help.
