Bug

So I've caught another bug. There is something seriously work with my immune system these days. Felt crappy all day Sunday and by 9 PM, I was a huddled, shivering mass on the sofa, covered with two heavy blankets. I refused to let Punk Boy take my temperature.

"Why," he asked. "Are you afraid of what it might say?"

I really was.

When I finally relented, the thermometer read 102F. Not good. We started to pump me full of Tylenol and liquids, and I collapsed in a shaking mess in our bed at about 11 PM. I woke up at five this morning, not feeling any better. Temperature had dropped to 99.9, which I assume is better, and its been hovering there all day. I feel a little bit better, not so shaky and out of sorts, but I still feel pretty cruddy.

I don't get it. I've been walking more, eating better and even the sea monkey hasn't had a cold in ages. So what the fuck is going on?

I personally think it's stress, yet again. Stress has become a constant theme in my life these past few months. I just finished doing a two week stint at a higher classification at work. I loved the work, loved the pay, but wasn't a huge fan of our temporary team leader who would hound me at my desk every two hours. It was beyond annoying and I was starting to antsy about it.

It's over now, I would have started my regular duties at work today had I gone in. Hopefully I'll be healthy enough tomorrow to go in. I'm aiming for it. Did lots of rest today and am trying to drink lots of liquids.

I need to unwind. I have a two week vacation from work coming up that I am really looking forward to, and then about a month after that, Sea Monkey and I will be going to Ottawa for a week to visit my sister. I'm looking very forward to the time away.

I gotta get the kid in about 45 minutes. I just put a pork tenderloin to marinate in the fridge for supper tomorrow. It should be interesting. I don't eat meat, but as I am home usually before Punk Boy, I am the one usually cooking the dinners. I've become a meat cooking master. I should take a picture of this marinating loin for all you out there who don't believe I touch meat. It looks tasty.
