Downs and Ups and Downs

The day started out not so good. Just felt yucky. Allergy stuffiness. Felt barely productive today if at all.

Lunch was a little pick me up, in its theraputic laughter inducing immature silliness. But then back to the yuck, almost on cue. Walking out of the restaurant after eating I started sniffling and sneezing again. And I don't think I sneezed once while eating, even though I was in the smoking section. (no, I haven't taken up another vice... I don't need to be sinking below the fifth level of hell)

I felt a little better after leaving work and hitting the gym to run my 13-minute mile (I have so much work to do... need to be able to run a 9-minute mile). But that sneezyness continued the whole drive from the gym to pick up the kids.

But then I got home and there were two pieces of uplifting mail. My CISSP certification paperwork (guess I've been endorsed), and my annual bonus notification. I had forgotten that it was that time of the year. Receiving that kind of good news is most appreciated when it is unexpected.

However, now I feel terrible because I'm not sure I've earned it.
