Yesterday was bittersweet

Friday was my last day at my job, of 9 years.. Not only was I so so sick I had to leave a hour early couldnt even complete my last day . Bad bad cold and fever and flu.. I tried I really did, my poor co-worker Lee had to sit and lisen to me cough all night .  I couldnt even eat the pizza we was getting for our last night going out with a bang.. so at 8 p.m. I gathered all my belongings and left saying good bye to QCO for the last time.  I really couldnt be sad because I was so sick .. All my other co-workers said there good byes and I did all I could do not to cry.. So Here it is 6.45 am in the morning and im up all I did was toss and turn all night long coughing and running a fever.. I think the fever is gone for now at least .. but I have this major headache that wont go away.. and my whole body just aches.. was up in the middle of the night taking a hot bath because I was so cold.. At one time I felt hubby feel my hand and feel my head I must of been burning up .. My ears hurt I guess from the coughing.. I hate to sit and whine about this but it truly sucks being sick on your last day of work or any day that is.. You know how you love a job so much that you stay .. well that was my job.. i didn't have benefits or insurance or anything like that so your probably wondering why i stayed.. I stayed because I loved the job. My Daughter Christy keeps telling me its a good thing .. now you and get back into doing candles and just sit back and relax .. for awhile .. I'm so torn about that .. I dont know if i can sit back and relax lol.. Well first thing Monday morning I have to go down to the unemployment office and file for that .. and start to get my ducks in a row. My Mom also says its a good thing wont have to drive to work in the winter lol. boy again we shall see.. I just wish i was feeling better to enjoy it .. but hopefully by monday i will be feeling better.. wish me luck in this new adventure of life. Shirley I know how you feel retiring well im about to .. lol
