Oh dear.
I'm sick!
My temperature is 100.0, which is amazingly high considering the last time I had my temperature taken at the doctor's office it was 97.0. ("That's... really low," said the nurse.)
There's also a painful lump the size of a chicken egg on the side of my neck, which is awesome, because I don't think I've ever had a swollen lymph node before. I've only sneezed once and I'm not coughing or blowing my nose, so I don't really know what's going on, considering I felt pretty fine yesterday. And then suddenly I got loopy and very hot and extremely achy and it hurts to crack my knuckles and roll my eyes and now I'm sick. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. A truck full of hot things.
I know I sound excited. That's because I am! I never get sick! And when I do it's a stupid sinus infection! And it is freaking hot in here. Well, no, it isn't, the thermostat says it's 75, but I'm too hot and achy to sleep. And being sick is going to mess up my writing counts! I'm gonna have to work overtime when I get better :(
I've also scared myself because they always say when you get sick suddenly and it's a high fever it could be something really crazy, which would suck, because I never leave the house and I use hand sanitizer and I don't eat crazy foods and I don't want to have crazy illness and also I really, really can't afford a return trip to the doctor's. And my ears hurt and I truly believe I'll never know what life waterless is like again.
Then again, the swollen gland makes me nervous because I might have an enlarged thyroid (that was the seeekrit health problem I mentioned before). Which fits, because I have almost all of the symtoms: I'm heavier than I should be, I'm always cold, my nails are thin, my periods are from the devil and don't come at the right time, I get irritated, depressed, and have "memory trouble" with some things... oh, and I'm shorter than I should be, my projected height at birth was 5'3" - the symptom list is too perfect, and I can't wait to have a blood test and find out if it's true. Or find out if my thyroid has decided to take over my neck O.o But in any case, if it's true and I get treatment I'll become like a whole different person, which is scary but also exciting.
I'm getting loopy, I'd better go back to bed.

ETA: 103.8! ...that's a little less exciting. Going to doctor tomorrow maybe.
