nothing like coming back from a successful trip ready to start the week and get all your accounting clients back on track only to find out you're sicker than a dog

not sort of sick, like its just a one day thing, nope, sick beyond sick, I missed about 45 hours worth of work this week - which is nothing if you're paid salary but to me that means between 1000-2000 dollars worth of work

TM was supposed to start working for me this week but there is no way he would have been up to speed in time to cover me for week long sickness, although I'm thinking we'll just start him by having him start working with me on Tuesday - he can jump in with both feet and go from there (i'll call you later this weekend, we can go over details)

Did I mention it was tax season, god I felt so bad but all my clients have told me stay home, they do not want it and the cpa has filed extensions for all of them and me.

And you're wondering how sick is she really?

• Day 1-3 > I had a 103 fever, sweated like I've never sweated before. I was disoriented and had enough of an idea that it was morning and I need to call clients but other than that completely out of it and I think the fact they kept calling me made it easier. I knew that I needed to get up and feed the cats and I barely registered that concept. I was totally out of it.
• Thursday, woke up still had a fever, although it dropped to 101, called the doctor, i was still really sick. You know I knew that I needed to get up and take a shower but I just didn't have the motivation to get up
• Diagnosis - i have a ruptured ear drum, strep throat, chest congestion, cough, flu.
• I got cough syrup with codeine, antibotics, medicine for my ear
• and advice from my doctor - take time for myself, if i need to hire employees to help, hire them. Take a day off every couple of weeks, i thought I was doing that but I guess not enough.
