I spoke too soon
Sunday brought on funny feelings: achey head, neck, and eyes.
Monday around 5 am I woke up feeling like I was radiating heat, and not because of all my blankets and hoodie. I stayed home that day and slept. When I talked to my mom that night I felt not nearly as hot, if it all, but my head, eyes, and neck were still bothering me. Mom told me to take some Advil, so I did that and then hopped into the shower. By the time I got out of the shower I felt great.
Tuesday: I'm at 100%. Close to noon I start to get that woozy feeling in my head that accompanies feverishness. I took a couple Advil and it cleared up pretty fast.
At home I dicked around before starting dinner later than I usually like to. I must have pissed off my body because while I was cooking the aches in my neck and the woozy-ish feeling reappeared. I took a couple Advil, though they don't seem to have done the trick this time.
I went to bed on time, earlier than I had in a while, and had something of a fitful sleep, the kind where you wake up maybe once or twice and aren't sure that you've been sleeping at all.
I woke up hot and having to go to the bathroom sometime before 2 am. I'm not going to chalk this up to a fever: unlike Monday morning, I'd kicked off my blankets and was eager to get my hoodie off.
I am, of course, still awake, which is why I'm posting here. I'm pretty fucking annoyed by this whole thing for a couple of reasons. How dare it disappear for a day and lull me into a sense of security? My mom assured me that since I rode out the fever Monday morning, taking Advil that much later wouldn't give the virus a chance to redouble its efforts (because that's what happens when you take fever reducers, I learned recently), and yet here I am. Luckily my head and eyes are fine. My neck just feels hot, I'm convinced my lymphnodes are all swelled up but I have no idea what they feel like, so I keep poking at my neck to find them.
I really hope I can get to sleep soon. The program admin assigned a bunch of my sick time to compensate for when I was on vacation, so I only have like 2 hours left D: Plus this is my short week, and I'm going to see the uchi this weekend! How am I supposed to get ample bed rest if I can't stay asleep D:?
