Managed to get sick with a brutal flu/cold on friday. While were going up to Mt Hood to go skiing.
So... check this action out, I'm sick, cold and feeling really really really angry that my ski boots, as always, don't fit a flat footed person.
FFS.
Started skiing at about midday decided it sucked too much at around 1pm, was completely out of breath, and then sat inside the, they called it a lodge but I'd call it the, base camp, until around 4:30pm.
For some weird reason I was freezing to death, dizzy and suffering muscle aches all the way up my body, I could barely sit down I was in so much discomfort. Then I began to feel nauseous.
At around 4:30pm we left the base camp and started driving home. So now I'm dizzy, sitting under a blanket and starting to... well space out. I completely lost the plot. Oh yeah, and at around 5:30pm I caught my breath.
We got back to the house we were staying at, I remember saying good night and going upstairs to sleep.
Instead I apparently mumbled, almost feel over and walked up stairs and passed out on the floor, of a different room. Then to make my night complete I was suffering from feeling really really cold and shivering followed by feeling really really hot. It got to the point where I was waking myself up every couple of hours and I made the room smell all awful and sweaty, in one night. Still feeling wrecked and got flown up to Whistler, but my damn ears wouldn't pop so I was hurting and my eyes felt all weird. Cleared up within an hour of touch down which was nice but I'm now at the snow and too fucked to ski. Happily the dizziness and falling over is gone, sadly so too is my luggage. I'll probably get it back by tomorrow morning.
Jedenfals, good night and good luck. Oh yeah, and happy birthday mum.
