Oh 100% was spoken a bit prematurely….I’m sure as much to the dismay of my worried friends and family as my own. How I managed to contract a cold when all I’ve done is been quaratined to my bed is beyond me, though it could just be the subset of symtoms for whatever ailed me beginning last Wednesday…which at this point God only knows, probably just a culmination of many things. It really is not the type of job or place where 60 hour work weeks should be mandated. The ickiness that is me is nothing too serious these days though, standard cold symptoms; a cough, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat from the cough etc. The worst part though is that the cough doesn’t allow for a good night’s sleep. So in effect, I need extra sleep so my cold will go away, but my cold keeps me from getting the extra sleep I need. Oh a vicious cycle indeed.

I know the family wants me to call home and check in, but per Richard’s request, I had to let someone else temporarily use the phone Richard had lent to me while he was back in the states. It’s for John, he does the artifiact sealings and a lot of the server work. They are amidst ironing out some technical issues and Richard needed to be able to speak to John while he was here this week. So I can probably call at the end of the week if it’s really a big deal…but hearing my voice right now you would not be put at ease “hellllooo Kelly the frog here.” I sound pretty funny.

But it’s okay I can be spared the obvious points.

Take it easy
Drink plenty of fluids
Eat well
And Kelly I mean it don’t overdo it

Yes Yes Yes.

And no worries on medication if I need that. I have easier access to medicine here than I do in the states…just in terms of what is readily available. That is not to be confused with quality health care though.

Like I said, this isnt really so bad or so serious, I sound worse than I actually feel. I’m mainly just sleep deprived from the cough…and at least that keeps me drinking water throughout the night, since that is what I do each time I wake up.

Okay, that is your sadsickface update from me. Hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend,
