my day thus far
Feb. 7th, 2011 05:51 pmwell, i called out sick. i slept very, very, badly. my body temperature was all over the place. my feet were hot. my hands were cold. my head was hot. my legs were cold. i couldn't get comfortable at all, and i had a terrible headache and was generally achy. at some point, i took my temperature, and it was 100.3F, which is a little bit higher for me, because i run low. it's somewhere around 101.4F for me.
needless to say, this was not good. i was up from midnight til nearly four, then tossed and turned and dozed til around 6:15, at which point i made the decision to absolutely call out. i sent marc a text saying that i wasn't coming, then tried to go back to sleep. a few minutes later realised that while i told *marc* i wasn't coming to work, i neglected to actually *call out* and text my supervisor. so i did both those things. i couldn't get back to sleep. i puttered around and pouted and whined and angsted. i ate some food. at some point, i checked my temp again and it was down to 99.5, which is about 100.6F. i considered this progress.
i managed to nap from about 9:30 til about 11:30. it wasn't solid sleep, but i was happy to get it. i still felt a mix of hot and cold, but my face in particular felt hot. i still had a headache. a look in the mirror gave me a big clue as to what is wrong with me.
i have a sunburn. on my face.
i'm pretty sure it's the root of the problem. either that or i have a bug that is doing nothing but giving me a headache and a fever and making me achy, and the sunburn is a coincidence.
*shrug* i am too malaisical to care, really.
i did nothing all afternoon except play clicky games and watch music videos. and then around 3:30 i forced myself to go to the laundromat because clothes needed to be cleaned and starting tomorrow there will be bitter cold and wind and probably more snow and ice, so better to get it done now.
now i am trying to feel motivated enough to prepare some food and eat it.

i can't believe i called out with a sunburnt face.
