04/21/2005: "Devil virus"

So it turned out, much to my delight, that it wasn't allergies after all, but some kind of horrible deadly virus. I came down with a pretty strong fever about twenty minutes after last night's post and didn't even really begin to recover until mid-afternoon today. Which isn't to say that I don't still have a headache, cough, etc, just that I can currently do more than lie on the floor under a blanket shivering and moaning. If I know me, I should be mostly better tomorrow though. At least I better be. I'm the kind of person who's sick rarely enough that when I am I just go around constantly vying for sympathy. I'm sure it's quite insufferable. But in the meantime I'm popping vitamins and ibuprofin like they're candy and washing them down with mega green juice. It's a good thing I generally have a pretty tough immune system, I'm remembering now that I really hate being sick.
