It was the Pedialyte!
I think I can safely say I'm over whatever malady beset me last week. Today was the first time in a week I've felt relatively normal. I'm pretty sure it was the Pedialyte. I finally broke down and got some--well, asked mom to get some, as she was at Target anyway--and it really has made all the difference, or so I think. Kris, thank you so much for the suggestion; I only wish I'd listened to you sooner. I had no idea I was so off-balance, basically.
Now I'm down to school-related weakness and irritability. Ugh, homework. I spent much of the day reading and taking notes, though I did spend a couple hours in the library at school replying to old emails. Still, the note-taking has taken a toll on my right index finger--too much pressing down on the pen and paper--and I need a break, which is perfect, as it's basically my bedtime. I still have a long, long chapter to read in the morning, but I think I'll forgo taking notes at the same time. That's what's slowing me down. But I know it helps me learn. So conflicted, but I think I'll get over it.
