Sick day

Taking a sick day today. What I thought were allergies yesterday turned out to be a respiratory infection. So now I have aches, occasional chills, maybe fever (or my version of fever), coughing, sore throat and my voice is hoarse. Didn't know how bad my voice was until I called in at work. Then I could hear myself.

Oh, well. Happy I at least have sick days, so it won't have a big financial impact. 

I don't think the headache on Fri was directly related to this. However, the same condition that led to the headache may have left me open to infection. Anemia. Meaning my defenses against infection were low. 

Tried sleeping a while longer but couldn't. So, guess I'll get some things done around here in a bit. The wind isn't blowing, so maybe a good day to do the CV axle. Winds are supposed to pick up again tomorrow. On a car this size, it's not a very physically strenuous job, except for the act of getting under the car. And that part is limited. Most is done sitting on the ground next to the car.

Found the mount for the plow last night. Install that. Since the garden is already well tilled, it should take less than an hour to plow. Maybe a lot less. 

If I still have the energy and time after this things, be good to clean up the workshop. For such a small space, it's a really big mess.

Took a handful of vitamins, decongestants and ibuprofen. Waiting for that stuff to kick in before getting moving. 

So, made the mortgage payment last night. Waiting to see how they apply it. It should be pretty straightforward but with Wells Fargo it never is. However, no matter how they apply it, it should still come out to bring me up to March. Not completely current but at least up to the current month. For a while. Not sure how fast I can make the March and April payments. May will be the month I am most likely to really pull ahead. Three paychecks in May. Though I am trying to bring things at least fully current before then.
