Fever Fog

On Wednesday I started getting a sore throat, and a vaguely achy feeling. And then exhaustion set in. But I had to work. And had a date with cute bf. So I ignored it. I took some Aleve and hoped it would just pass.

On Thursday the fever set in. And it raged. I shook with chills and could barely swallow. I could think of nothing else. The temperature outside soared to 96 degrees. But I cranked the heat in my car on the way home, and still couldn't get warm. Once safe at home, I took 4 Tylenol, and 2 alka seltzer. And curled up in the fetal position in bed. I slept fitfully, with swirling, fever induced dreams. I woke a few hours later, confused. What day? What time?

Little by little I began to feel better, and today it's like nothing ever happened.

So why do I share this? Because it sucked. And well, other than that, nothing happened yesterday!

Fin.
