I guess it is time to return to work tomorrow. The flu kept me out for three days. My chest is still messy, my head hurts and I'm generally not feeling up to speed. This thing really walloped me. Wednesday was the worst. What I'm concerned about now though is the Mercer Island Half Marathon next weekend. I'll just have to run it to run it, rather than trying to get a good time. I missed some key workouts this past week. I hope this doesn't limit my miles when I get myself back on the roads and trails.

I used some of that time yesterday to sift through and shred unnecessary receipts and credit card offers. This is a major coup. All that crap had been sitting on my counter for as long as I have been here. I even found a rebate sort of check in there. I think it is still good. Nicky was interested in the shredding, maybe because he is good at it himself. I gave him back to Lee this morning after breakfast at Ihop. I think he enjoyed his stay here. But don't take this to mean that I want to be given a cat or kitten. No no. This place is too small and those monsters wake you up at 2:30 in the morning. This one also enjoyed drinking from my water cup and knocking down my ficus tree.
