I just woke up from a nice afternoon nap and noticed your post. Thanks for your concern. I guess that I am not really that sick (no fever) but with a cold, or worse, comming on, I felt that I needed to nip it in the bud and that rest was the ticket. (lucky for me the boss can not fire me - I work for myself) Felt that I did need to feel better if I could before the weekend though, I have that Date, and she does not want to catch anything from me as she is just getting over about a 2 or 3 month bug herself.
I do feel better after the nap and will rest rest of evening and try to get good night sleep again tonight.
