idle musings

I started feeling nauseous and headachey last night, so I took it easy and lay on the couch all evening. I was freezing, which is a sure sign I’m getting sick. I went to bed at 9 absolutely exhausted but then couldn’t fall asleep so I took a Gravol for the nausea, hoping it would also send me to sleep.

I woke up around 4:30 with the fever hot and cold flashes – too hot under the blankets but as soon as I pushed them off I was freezing. I thought I’d have to cancel my meetings today and stuff. But when the alarm went off at 7:45 I wasn’t feeling feverish so I got up.

The nausea came back but passed by about 10:30. The headache has come and gone. And now my body is so achey that I can hardly bear moving, and I’m freezing again.

I think I’m going to have something to eat and then go to bed for the rest of the day. I have tomorrow off, so hopefully I can kick whatever this is and make it go away. Send healthy thoughts my way.
