Creeping Crud

Dillypoo is ailing. I welcomed 2010 with a sore throat that has blossomed into a full fledged case of the crud. And I'm none to pleased about it, either. So far, it's cost me a half day of vacation, my voice and my dignity. It seems my 40-something bladder can't hold it when I sneeze any more.

Happy new year.

On the up side, my boss found it prudent to provide me with a laptop computer to make me mobile and more productive when not chained to my office. Which is why I was able to keep the vacation request to only a half day today. I managed to work from home for a few hours. In my jammies.

I could get used to that, assuming I wasn't also trying to blast my nasal passages clear with leftover firecrackers.

The other half of today was spent figuring out how to use a laptop touch pad, setting up my email and generally playing with a fancy new toy. Is it wrong to use this thing for blogging if it's after hours? I'm all comfy camped out on the couch in front of the tee vee and my personal computer is on the other side of the room.

I did, however, manage to make it to my Club WW meeting tonight. I wanted to celebrate 52 weeks on the program by being there in person. And even though I've gained 1.2 pounds since my last weigh-in three weeks ago, I did a spin in my baggy sweats and croaked out some glee for being almost 40 pounds lighter than this time last year.

I'm sure everyone there was just tickled about my dedication to the journey and for spreading my germs.

What can I say. Dillypoo likes to share.
