Got around 12 hrs of sleep last night and woke up with a 100.6 deg. fever. Drinking an Emergen-C helped clear the disorientation that comes with that much sleep and a fever. Now for some ice water. My stomach/side/back muscles are starting to complain at all the coughing, grr

Get better or I'll beat you up

You're so tender-hearted, Drew. :)

No need to thank me, citizen. It's my duty.

Emergen-C is good stuff.

The only upside to the soreness is that at least you *know* you're sick. I hate being in-between sick, where I feel sort of off, but don't feel bad enough to crawl back into bed. (I know, right now you'd trade it in a heart beat).

I hope you feel better soon. Keep up with the rest & the fluids.

Nah, I also prefer being more all-out sick than semi-bad in-between sick. The battle-plan for "sick" is pretty straightforward. What I really hate is what usually gets me: a head cold where I want to chop my head off, low to no fever, low energy but otherwise feeling okay which still makes me miss work because I can't concentrate. And that's actually more miserable for me than this fever+cough thing (except that I know this cough will drag on and on). My nose is still relatively clear and my sinuses are behaving.

It's like I skipped the head cold and jumped right into the secondary chest infection.

Thanks!

And there's all this nice beer in my fridge taunting me, too. I gotta get well so I can fight back and teach 'em a lesson! ;)

this is one of those days when i wish i had had an excuse to call in sick.

my day is definitely less interesting when you're not around on IM
