Wow. I'm glad I'm not, like, REALLY sick. Being just a little sick is annoying enough.
I just spent the whole day feeling a wee bit chilly, until suddenly I was sweating and I had to take most of my clothing off. Hello, fever! It's been a while. Don't get comfortable.
So now I need to stop drinking hot drinks (of which I have so far consumed ~80 oz) and switch to cold drinks. Until I get cold again.
I tell you what, though, those -Quil products work very well. I have Dayquil, and then I feel fuzzy but otherwise reasonably well for a couple of hours. I can definitely tell when it wears off, because I turn into a miserable, whiny brat immediately. And what's worse is I finally cleaned us out of Christmas chocolate, so now I'm a whiny brat in chocolate withdrawal. (PS please don't get me more chocolate. There's no point in delaying the inevitable.)
I hope to drive to work tomorrow for at least a little while. I don't know if I'm contagious, but as long as I'm not spewing fluids the coworkers should be safe. So as long as I have access to Dayquil, it's all good.
Last night I tried to go to sleep but I was SO HOT. Probably feverish. It was like nine bajillion degrees below comfortable out, and I was there on the bed with the fan blowing on my bare skin. I felt like I was being sauteed. Finally I decided I didn't care if it had been enough hours since my last dose of Nyquil, I was having more. And voila! Sleep.
Despite my current health impaired state, I have Springer Fever pretty bad. I need to get together with DeLee to plan out our backpacking trips for this year. A weekend in the woods is a good vaccination against Springer Fever. You have to repeat the procedure every month or so, but it works.
