I'm sick, and it's unpleasant. I had a few beers on Friday night, and as randomly happens sometimes when I drink beer, it somehow gave me a throat infection. I slept through most of Saturday and Sunday, and I seemed to be getting better. Today, though, I've gotten worse when I've slept. I guess it's the fever, but when I drift toward unconsciousness, I keep slipping into what I can only describe at the moment as a horribly uncomfortable delirium. I enter a reality that makes very little sense, but feels entirely stressed, panicked, and real. I've basically just been tossing around kicking my feet and mumbling nonsense, and I wake up feeling worse and more exhausted than when I fell asleep. The last few times, even after waking up, I've had to fight a bit to regain my bearings. I'd really like to get some sleep right now, but I'm here instead, because I know that will just happen again.
