I hate colds. For whatever reason, I'd rather power through something a bit more toxic− like the stomach bug I contracted before a work event two months ago. (I vomited four times that day, but showed up to the venue with makeup on, in a skirt. I worked the room and only took a break to vomit, yet again, in the ladies room.) Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment.
Anyway... As the sun went down yesterday, my level of discomfort went up, up, up. By the time my alarm went off this morning, I wasn't even sure I'd slept continuously for more than half an hour and my throat was so sore just swallowing saliva was painful. Despite popping pills and slurping down orange juice like it was going out of style, I was tired and driven to distraction. Writing an article was not going to be easy.
So after attempting to nap this afternoon, I swallowed a few Tylenol caplets, slipped on a pair of 5" stilettos, pulled my laptop onto my bed and got to work.
Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, as I write this I'm still wearing those 5" stilettos. (Well, technically the heel is 4 3/4" and the shoe has a 1" platform.) I wanted to feel better and these particular shoes (above) make me smile.
