while i often feel “not well” in terms of fatigued, headachy, congested, etc., it’s rare that i actually come down with something full-blown and have to wallow in misery. apparently though this is my big chance and so here i am, chills and fever and hacking cough and headache and my whole body aches and so on and so forth ad nauseum.

it’s just a shame i don’t have a thermometer because i would like to have known how far my temperature got up yesterday, because i was not having a very good time for a while there.

i hope i didn’t either pick this up at work, or inadvertently give it to anyone at work (how long before symptoms set in is the flu contagious?), because this sucks, and i do not approve.

(it would also be nice if my furnace could pretend to keep the inside at a steady temperature, instead of letting it fall to 68° before kicking on, then running until it’s 74-75° and kicking off again. grrararrrarrrrgh. stupid thing.)

oh well. look on the bright side: now i get to cancel my dentist’s appointment for wednesday!
