She Lives
Well, this appears to be a more short-lived thing I am suffering through. After nearly 15 hours of sleep last night/this morning, I am feeling decidedly better. I woke up in a haze around 7:00am to see dtiernan standing there with some Tylenol for me (I used up all the ibuprofen). He had stopped by on his way to work, and petted my hair for awhile before slipping back out the door. Then I woke up for a phone call around 9:30, but other than that, I slept all the way until 1:00 in the afternoon.
I was feeling so much better. I had actually felt better-ish when I woke up at 7:00, and debated whether to take another sick day. But I'd rather nip this thing completely than push it and maybe get my coworkers sick. It was clearly the right call, as my body needed more rest. But I was actually hungry when I woke up, which is new. I had peanut-butter toast and my usual yogurt and I feel capable of actually getting ready for my party tomorrow. I'm still not 100% energy or anything, but my throat barely hurts and I don't have a fever anymore.
So there you go, you can call back the pity party for now. Thanks for throwing it :)
