Home sick
I am home sick today.  I have only been awake 7 to 9 hours the past two days (not consecutive hours either).  It started with what I thought was warding off a chest cold and turned into a minor chest cold with body and head aches.  The coninually being tired has really been tough as family was in and I was cranky and really crashing hard when my batteries ran out.  Last year broke my 2 and a half year stretch of not being out sick, which was a wonderful streak.  Having a wife who is a nurse (not by trade at this point) makes the stay home or go to work decisions easier.
