Last week I was on a work trip in Denmark. Nice weather (sunny, warm, just a light breeze - something I WOULD NOT expect from Denmark!). Long, long days, interesting people and good food.
And unfortunately I got covid, most likely on my way back home at the airport security line (should've gone by train). Well, haven't got a covid test, but symptoms are just right for this new strain. I'm not completely wiped out, but sick enough to call my supervisor "Sorry, can't work". Really it doesn't matter that much, I'm usually working from home anyway, I could've played working by sending few emails. Byt why should I? Here where I live I get paid if I'm sick only few days, and I can just call my supervisor to tell I'm sick. So if I AM sick, I am sick and not pretend to not be.
But it is nice to be at home sick alone. No-one is demanding my attention, or asking me things. It is so quiet (it wasn't quiet in Denmark) and I just sit in my comfy chair sniffing and nursing some hot drink and do nothing else... (of course it would be completely different thing if I was really really sick, but I'm not)
And - I've not told hb I'm on a sick leave. Either he would worry too much or then think I'm not sick and calls me all day do-this, do-that blah-blah-blah.
I would LOVE to be able to do all those small things around the house, but I AM sick, now my head is full of something icky and my brains are slow. If I put washing machine on, I get exhausted and all sweaty. If I go out with 'Suma (I mean I open the door and just stand in the middle of the driveway "You better go now for a pee and a poo!") I will freeze with my winter coat on...
But it was nice to meet my colleagues from Germany and France and all other places.
