Yesterday did not exactly exist. It was Lost Day. I managed to catch a version of a nasty bug that roommate Celeste had come down with over the weekend- mine was less severe, but I was feverish and wretched Tuesday night, not sleeping well, except to have bizarre fever dreams.

When I woke up this morning, I was confused. I was... in pain? How odd, I thought. Since roomie Celeste had been down with a nasty bug for 48 hours that included joint pain, I was worried that it might be that.
