The post holiday recovery period

Jessica and I are recovering from a bout of the SARS/Bird Flu/West Nile Virus and haven’t felt up to doing much. We’re fairly sure that one of her friends was the original carrier of the crud and infected the both of us. I can only hope that I didn’t pass it on to anyone that came over to our house on Christmas Eve. The worst of the crap is over in the first 60 hours but I expect it to take a full week before I feel like a regular human.

I’ve got next week off while Jessica heads back to work on Monday. I’ve got a few tasks to take care of around the house but some of them are dependent on the rest of the snow and ice melting. I can deal with the rain but I need to be able to get a little traction out there. Most of the Christmas decorations are already down and stored away in the basement. The only remaining decorations are the tree sitting in our living room and the lights outside of the house. We’re planning on taking the tree to the backyard and flaming it later today. We expect the tree to last about 45 seconds before all that is left is a pile of ashes.

I’m off standby so I’m a happy guy – I can do what I want when I want. The only stipulations that I have are to check into work on Monday and Wednesday next week. Other than that, I’m a free man. I guess that means beer, Madden, and sitting on the couch for hours on end. What you’re feeling right now is envy.
