Out Sick

I really didn't feel particularly well yesterday but chalked it up to drinking a large glass of 1% milk the previous night. Since I normally drink skim I figured the "milk fat" gave me a bit of a sour stomach. I figured at some point my stomach would stop being angry with me.

By the time I got home last night, I just didn't feel right. The red flag in my mind was that my skin hurt. I plopped myself down on my bed and didn’t really move for more than an hour. Surprise surprise, I had a temperature of 100. I can always tell when my skin starts to hurt there's a fever involved.

And then the vice-grip headache started. It wasn't like the "head is going to explode" headache, more like shooting pain headache. Either way it hurt!

So I sent my "calling out" email last night figuring I wasn't going to be up to getting up this morning. The fever broke at some point over night and when I woke up around 4:30 AM I considered recalling my email and going in. Good thing I decided not to. I still feel rather punky and iffy. I spent the day instead on my bed watching mindless TV.

Turns out Mom must have passed this bug on to me. She thought she had eaten bad food on Saturday but when we compared symptoms they were a little to identical to be a food-thing and not a bug-thing.
