I feel . . . sloshy

I feel that rolling boat feeling. Not the "stomach is going to empty" but the head/body feeling of boat rolling. But I am sitting upright in a chair at work. I started to get sick Saturday morning and by night I had a full blown sinus infection feeling. A little sudafed and I felt loads better. I even did some yoga with Merissa and Mari last night. However it didn't help me sleep. At all.

I am not sure if it was the CVS Nyquil knockoff or what. I was fighting sleep hard (that is just me for some reason) and then I couldn't sleep at all. Finally turned the light off for good at 2am. I tried at 11:15pm right after leaving a message for Mom, then she called me, but I was trying soooo hard to go to sleep so I let it ring through to voicemail. I should have just stayed up to chat. It would have been a better use of time. Even though the light was off, I didn't sleep. I finally got out of bed at 4:50am and started reading. Watching the sun. Might as well. Obviously not sleeping any time soon.

I feel fine. Honestly. When I cough I sound like a victim of TB or 30 year smoker, and the whole rolling boat feeling. But other than that . . .ok I should have stayed home. But I don't have a whole lot of sick days and government may go on furlough in which case I would have to take days off. . . excuses. Long story short (too late you say) I am playing typhoid Mary at work. Except work is definitely where I got this little sickness. So share and share alike.

Luckily I think I have plans this Valentine's Day. Because frankly these aren't options.

Taxes are not as fun when you don't over pay to begin with

So I just filed my taxes. Which were very quick and I totally
appreciate that. But total it was $70 to prepare and file federal and
state plus $42 I owed because I had my withholding allowances high for
the last two months of the year (ps taxes start looking huge when you
go back to paying them).

On the upside, the ... "City"..."district"?... "Principality"? Can't
figure what it is and I have been here for over 3 years! DC owes me
some money back, so I still came out ahead of the game. But it is hard
not to feel irritated with the expense for the privilege of paying
taxes.

Taking the metro tomorrow. My tax dollars at work. :)
