I’m sick today. Actually, I
I'm sick today. Actually, I am home sick today. Well, not on-my-death-bed sick, but I wasn't feeling well at all when I woke up this morning... sore throat, stuffy, achy head... etc. You know, a Nyquil commercial in the making. I felt bad a work yesterday, but was fine last night. EL made a fabulous meal... again... and I had planned on taking her to C&H Steak Company for some wine and desert, but after a phone conversation with my buddy Joe, we decided to stop by Blanco's Bar and Grill to say hello to the regulars. Dirk and Joe (ironically, his girlfriends nickname is also Joe) had four tickets to the sold out Tim McGraw concert at Reliant Stadium and unbeknownst to us, two of them had our name on them. We had a couple of minutes to squeeze in our desert and even though it wasn't at C&H (where Jean-Paul was playing), we sunk into the luxurious leather couch at El Bien Bife Argentinean Grille for some yummies before splitting a taxi with Dirk and Joe to the stadium. Our seats were excellent... I would say that you probably couldn't get better seats given the way the rodeo was set up. The show was great. Tim's outfit was spiffy and his new band was talented. I really enjoyed being there with EL. We parted ways with Dirk and his girlfriend after the show and headed for the taxi stand. 75,000 people doesn't seem so intense until they are all trying to leave at the same time. Heh. By the time we made it home, I was so ready for sleep that I'm surprised I even remember going to bed. Next thing ya know, I wake up feeling like hammered shit this morning. I didn't even get drunk last night. It doesn't really seem fair. No matter. I had a engineering staff meeting at 9:00 that I conferenced in on, and I've been working from home like a busy bee ever since... more or less. I get a lot done when I work from home because I don't have so many interruptions. I must admit however, it's difficult to stay focused on work with EL walking past every couple of minutes. I feel like taking a break and spending time with her... but she keeps me straight. Honestly, I should be using this time to study for my recertification that is due in one month, but I would rather take it easy and rest. I hate being sick and if I can nip this in the bud by chillin' at home today and taking meds, then it's worth procrastinating another day before hard core study.
