2005-01-11 - 11:06 p.m. - one sick bastard...
Yup, that's me. I'm just one sick person... It started out as a mild
recurring cough, probably triggered by a nice combination of my acid reflux my
recent weekend smoking binges and the recent cold weather. Monday morning
instead of the usual throat irritation I felt that raw soreness that usually
signifies a cold or flu infection.
I should have known better and rested it out. I think my "funk" of yesterday
of me wanting to stay in bed and do absolutely nothing was only partially caused
by my emotional state. Part of my funk is actually related to a cold or flu
infection. I think it feels like a flu the way it knocked me out. It's mostly
coughing and fever though, not so much of the sneezing and runny nose.
I spent the better part of the day in bed interdispersed with rather violent
coughing fits, the kind that make you feel like your head is going to explode.
So anyway I'm on all sorts of cold medication now, thanks to my mom the walking
pharmacy. My fever hit 103, earlier before I took tylenol and all that crap. I'm
just so hot baby. :P Anyway, I'm kinda sorta feeling better now. I might call in
sick tomorrow as well. Aside from the wicked cough, staying in bed all day is
rather cool, so I got to milk it for all it's worth. Also, I must exorcize those
influenza demons. Begone foul demons! The power of my flesh wand compels you!
