Work on monday went well. I lasted the full day and was able to help with a few problems they were having. Throat cold migrated to my sinuses half way through the day which was annoying. The cold made me feel more tired than I should have felt by the end of the day, so I was glad to relax at home.
I still have the sinus cold, but the throat pain has subsided a little, so that's good.
I took today (Tue) very easy. Stayed in bed for most of the day trying to rid myself of the sinus cold. No luck. So I'll be going to work tomorrow with a Kleenex box. But then I'll have 4 days to recuperate before my next work day (Mon). My family seems to have shaken the cold bug, so hopefully I'll shake it soon as well.

Glad to hear you made it through your first day back! Yay! Although colds are very annoying, sinus colds doubly so. Here's hoping it passes soon.
