Five days in bed with the flu/cold

Not sure if it was the flu or a really terrible cold but I was knocked out for the past five days.  Work is piling up along with publishing deadlines, training sessions and new year plans.  Ok, so I didn't start off the new year correctly but I plan to make this a meatless month.  I have had bacon, beef and chicken but today is January 8th and I will start today.  I also missed my hair appointment, which consists of wash, blow dry and flat ironing.  I have to tell my hair dresser that I plan to wear my hair naturally for the next couple of months.  Natural January!!!
