Just figured I'd update my posting from last night. I woke up this morning with no fever which is a plus. Unfortunately, I also woke up with a splitting headache. The Motrin is working on that right now and it's not that bad at the moment.
Looks like everything is going to be fine for doing my massive amounts of homework this weekend. Sigh.
When one is working on deadlines and needs the weekend to get some work accomplished, the last thing a person needs is to get sick. Which is of course, exactly what happened to me.
I started coughing a lot last night at around 8-9 and I knew something was coming, but I was hoping it wasn't going to be too bad. I woke up this morning with a low fever of 100, but I took some Motrin and that went away, so I went into work. As the day went by, my fever slowly returned and I started to feel light headed and dizzy. At least my cough is back to being manageable again. I ended up leaving work at 4:30 because I couldn't take sitting there anymore. Luckily I have enough vacation time to cover that and taking christmas eve off.
But anyway,here I am, resting up and hoping that I don't feel like crap all weekend because I REALLY need to get stuff done.
I figure I should probably make a post again since I haven't posted in 4 days. I'm feeling a lot better at the moment. My nose is all unstuffed at the moment but I'm still coughing quite a bit unfortunately. Work faster antibiotics, FASTER!
My MacBook Pro is still in for repair, unfortunately. As of right now the part is still "on order" like it has been for a week. Hopefully it starts moving because I'm really starting to miss it. Not that I'll have the opportunity to go pick it up this week anyway.
My sister's wedding is happening this Saturday, so in addition to my two nights a week class commitment, I need to go pick up my tux on Thursday, go to the rehearsal on Friday night and then the wedding is on Saturday. The only semi-open time I'd have is on Tuesday night which isn't looking real promising at the moment. Hopefully it'll be done by Sunday so I can pick it up then.
I haven't posted much recently because I've been feeling kinda blah.
I went to the doctor earlier today and was told it was a sinus infection. So I'm taking some antibiotics to take care of it. The worlds largest antibiotics...geeze, these pills are huge.
Nothing else really new to report. I'm just going to take it easy for a bit.
Ughhh. I was home sick today with a horrible, horrible headache. Thankfully it's under control right now, but I've used an awful lot of sick time this year. I need to check and see how much I have left...
This is also the second time this year I've taken a sick day the week after a 3 day weekend. Hmmm...
At least my sick day allowed me to play (during the times when the Motrin held off the headache) some more Odin Sphere, an RPG thingy for the PS2 that I picked up on monday. It has the best graphics I've ever seen on a PS2 game. 2d sprites rock for this kinda thing. That's Gwendolyn over there on the right.
Anyway, I'm feeling much better now, so back to work tomorrow for me. I did miss my Astronomy class tonight though :( Hopefully I can get what we covered from the teacher so I can stay caught up. Summer classes are really hard if you fall behind in them. They move so fast...
I'm really getting tired of getting sick this year.
I seem to be catching everything that comes by. The last two days I've been out of commission with this stomach bug thingy. Ruined my 5-6+ year no-puke streak.
I still feel off today, but I'm back at work. Off probably because I haven't really eaten much over the past couple days. Not sure if I'll be able to stay the whole day...we'll have to see.
At least this happened before the DC trip and not during.
Well...back to work I suppose.
After my wonderful 2 day vacation on account of having The Cold From HELL(tm), I'm back at work with what could be described as a bad head cold.
I took a nap yesterday after posting that message and woke up feeling decent. I also actually moved past surviving on a diet of toast and ginger ale with some actual foods! Mostly because I ran out of bread...but that's beside the point!
I'm not feeling great, but I'm functional...somewhat. Oh well. 2 sick days in a row is unusual for me.
It's been a little while since I posted, but I'm sick now and I can't sleep, so I figure now is as good a time as any. But more on that later.
This weekend was busy, as they seem to be these days. I hung out with some friends on Saturday and we worked out the general itinerary for the trip to Washington DC next month.
Sunday was mostly spent doing half of the required reading for my Western Civ class, and then going over to my parents to watch the Super Bowl that night. Not a terrible game, but not a good one either. And the commercials weren't all that great. It was that night where I started to feel a little weird.
Cut to 3am Monday morning and I woke up with a stuffy nose and a headache. I tried to sleep again, but only managed a couple of hours here and there. I ended up calling in sick to work, which was also probably a good thing because we had a massive lake effect winter storm yesterday too, which may actually still be going on. I can't tell since it's dark out at the moment. My temperature kept fluctuating yesterday, between 97 and 101 F, and I slept a whole bunch. The one good thing I can say about yesterday was Nintendo released Super Mario World (the SNES game) on the virtual console, so I was able to get some quality time in while laying down on the couch. Oh, and they canceled night classes yesterday, so the fact that I wasn't able to finish the homework wasn't much of a problem.
I woke up at 3 again this morning and haven't been able to get back to sleep yet. I think I'm going to call in sick again today...
I'm home sick today. I appear to have caught the stomach bug that's been going around. One of my friends got it the day after we went bowling last Friday, his wife came down with it yesterday and it appears I've got it today.
Luckily, it seems that I don't have the horrible puking version of it, but I feel odd if I move around too much.
I hate being sick :(
At least I get to watch the Price is Right and play some PS2. The Wii has way too much movement at this point to be doable.
I'm hesitant to actually say anything about this, but I think I may actually be feeling better...
I know, I shouldn't talk or I'll jinx it! But I don't feel like my head is floating 3-4 feet above my body and I'm a lot less tired.
This may have something to do with the fact that I got home last night, ate dinner and then took a 3 hour nap.
