Seriously...Now is not a good time.
When I went to bed last night I questioned whether or not I'd go into class/work today, but after hitting the snooze for half an hour I decided I should at least try. I was alright at first but quickly deteriorated and caught myself with my eyes closed/dreaming several times during both Journal Club and the THEMIS meeting. It's not tiredness due to not sleeping, or a tiredness that can be fixed with coffee--I could tell it was related to (or in fact WAS) my sickness, and I was feeling more and more incoherent so I just went home right after group meeting ended at 2:30. I threw towels in the laundry and then climbed into bed. I woke up again around 6:30 but couldn't pull myself out to eat or anything. I ended up laying there/dozing until about 8:35, when need to switch the laundry to the dryer overcame my lethargy. It's one of those sicknesses where drinking feels totally disgusting, but I could tell I had a headache from lack of fluids so I made some tea--hot water isn't so bad as cold. Not very hungry but I figured I should make something so I have some rice cooking...I still feel too out of it to even think about doing any of my homework or research. This is where the title of my post comes in. I was just sick not so long ago, and now I am again and it's sucking hours/days from time I should be productive. It makes me very frustrated!
Hopefully allowing myself to sleep this afternoon will help me get over this fatigue/cough/runny nose fast. The cough/runny nose actually isn't bad at all--but it sorta feels like this thing has settled into my chest. Ugh...So I think I'll just watch this week's episode of Heroes while I eat and then crawl back into bed.
