I sound TERRIBLE today, good thing I no longer sing or do anything that requires speech, other than hours and hours of meetings... Let me assure you I feel SOOO much better, like 100x better than I did the beginning of the week, but this happened today and I found it funny. I passed my boss in the hallway & asked a question. He turned around, took a step backwards; away from me, then asked are you sick before answering my question. Not only that but I was asked on a couple calls today if I was working from home because I sounded so bad (I wasnt, except for the late calls).
Also I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but in general the amount of scratches and scabs is a decent litmus test for how I'm doing mentally... funny thing is lately I have more than usual but I'm fine. So thats strange, I had figured that the eczema was helping in lessening that, peeling off dead skin doesnt have quite the same something as ripping off a really good scab but it fills the void rather well I think. Also its totally less conspicuous (in my opinion) than the whole scratch, scab, pick thing.. i can count on one hand the people who knew where the scars on my arms came from that I was unable to convince they were just mosquito bites... but the eczema it leaves no trace, skin's already dead...
And it IS winter, officially. A coworker and I walked out of the building today and remarked about how nice it was, it was 44, then immediately realized what we did. Its sad when it gets to that point in the year when 40s are nice weather. And whats funnier still is its only been super cold the last 2 days 20s/30s but thats all it takes to skew your perspective on what warm is.
