Sick and Tired

I left early from work today.  I took sick leave, but if there was an option for “sick and tired leave,” that’s what I would have taken.  I was tired and I had no work to do, so a little bit of “bored out of my mind leave” could have been checked off the leave slip as well.

I thought I’d come home, take a short nap, and then get a few things done.  My baby-building body had other ideas though and I ended up sleeping for about four and half hours, until about 7:30, when I woke up feeling kind of groggy and gross and decided to get up for a little bit, have a little something to eat and some fluids.  I also made a cake for a coworker whose birthday is this week.

I know in my post yesterday that I may have sounded like I wanted to be a busy bee instead of resting like a good first-trimester pregnant woman should, but I do know better.  When my body tells me sleep is priority, then I listen.  I actually find it kind of entertaining that it told me so soon after I indicated I wanted to be more productive.
