Lost weekend....

I'm sick...and not happy about it!!!!!!

My weekend started with my flight back to Philly from Atlanta being delayed 3 hours, so instead of landIing at 4:30pm (in time to get to happy hour) I landed at 7:30pm.  As the night progressed I felt worse and worse, but attributed it to sheer exhaustion from being on the road for 3 days - I was in Austin on Wed/Thurs and Atlanta on Thurs/Fri.  I woke up on Saturday with a full blown cold.... and had to work until 3pm (which I knew I was going to have to do). 

I had really been looking forward to this weekend, because Adam and I were attending a fancy Dickinson event at the Constitution Center.  It took all the energy I could muster to get dressed up and go.  We had a nice time, but by the time the formal dinner was done at 10pm, I was fading fast.  We never ended up taking any photos at the event - so we snapped a few shots in the cab on the way home....  Adam looks great in his tux!

I spent all day today huddled in bed, catching up with shows saved in Tivo, and trying to get as many fluids in me as possible.  I only crawled out of bed to watch the Eagles/Dallas game with Adam.  Thankfully,they are winning and I have a happy husband on my hands, but there is still 5min left in the fourth quarter.

Tomorrow, Adam has off from work and was supposed to come up to NYC to see my office, go out to lunch, and get a feel for the city.  My fever is going up, not down, so I'm not sure I'm even going to work.  It might not be a bad idea to spend another day in bed instead of trying to go to work before I am feeling well and just prolong getting better.  I guess my stressful life-arrangement has finally caught up to me.

The only real highlight of our weekend was that we finally bought our tickets to JAPAN!!!  We'll get our flight info to everyone, but so you have the dates: we are leaving on Saturday Dec 23rd and returning on January 3rd...  We were able to upgrade to first class for the trip over, which is awesome, since it is a 14 hour trip. We weren't able to upgrade for the flight home, but there's still a chance that they might release some first class tickets for upgrades, so I'm keeping  my fingers crossed.
