Sick!!! But...

Well enough at this point to drag myself to Job #2. After all, the checks are sweet. Last night shortly after I arrived home c. 8pm-ish, I developed chills and a low-grade fever, in addition to body aches. The kind of fever where you're amazed at how hot your skin is to the touch, but not so bad that I was feeling sick and miserable. No, I didn't take my temp b/c that would've necessitated digging around under the upstairs bathroom sink to find the thermomater. I figured I'd sleep it off. No such luck as this a.m. I awoke with a headache and worse body aches! Dammit, I really had a shitload to do at work today, too: a final report due for one of my grants; an interesting webcast this morning; a cool workshop this afternoon on Minority Health disparities; and of course my lunchtime sneak-away to see Sin Nombre. Instead I stayed on the couch all day, being pathetic. At least I was there to let the cable guy in.

I am on ibuprofin now and feel slightly better, so hopefully am on the upswing. Still, I might call in sick again tomorrow so I can recover from today. Also, my documentary needs me! I watched most of a cool one today since our cable On-Demand feature is now working better. The whole thing was shot handheld! Fascinating.
