happy birthday, dear friend...

today is amy's birthday... here, all the world seems great... the sun is shining, the work load is light... everything looks wonderful...

but i'm sick... the absence of voice mixed with occasional cough from yesterday has turned into absence of voice mixed with cough that hurts... i don't like that part... i feel kind of tired... i stayed up too late because i'm sick - if i wasn't sick, the staying up late part would bother me as much... but mixed with the lack of sleep because of waking up coughing, it's not a good combination...

so, because i'm sick, and because the weather is beautiful... and because i get 12 sick days a year and i've only used 2 and it's mid-June... and because it's amy's birthday...

i'm leaving at lunch to go home for the rest of the day... once there, i will lie on the couch and watch tv and movies for the rest of the day... yea!!! only 30 minutes to go!!!
