I've been home from work with a cold for two days. I hate being home sick. I feel like I'm just being a big baby and should be tougher and get myself to work. Only problem is that I have been having dizzy spells due to the congestion and I really didn't feel like being at work and not be able to lay down when I need to. There was what felt like an explosion in my right ear a while ago and after the pain faded, I actually started feeling better.
