Home sick

I'm home sick today. I started getting a sore throat yesterday, which got progressively worse as the day went on. I went to bed early and just slept horribly. Finally, at 4:30 am I decided I would not go to work (have to leave for work at 5:30), so I called my boss and said I wouldn't be in. I ended up sleeping in until noon, which gave me about 13 hours of sleep. Guess I needed it. Hopefully this is just a short thing. I hate being sick.
