I thought I was just having allergies on Thursday, and felt fine for most of the night.
Then I woke up Friday with body aches, fever, and congestion. I tried to go to work and got sent home. I slept most of the morning and could barely move, then managed to schlep myself to the doctor. She said that it's an upper respiratory infection. Got some antibiotics, and by last night my fever was already going down. Now I still have a very sore throat and I'm still stuffy and tired, but at least my fever is gone.
Carlos left for DC about 20 minutes ago and will be home again tomorrow evening. I'm taking advantage of his absense to stay home and do a whole lot of nothing so I can get better for my trip next week. It's nice not to have any plans or things to do for the next 48 hours.
palimpsestuous was supposed to come over to watch the Grey's season finale, but apparently she's too much of a wuss to want to be around my germs. ;-)
