Diary of a sick day

7-8 am: drift in and out of consciousness as Rand gets ready for work. Roll over and go back to sleep

10:30 am: get up, take some medicine, drink some water. Make oatmeal. Sit on the couch and eat oatmeal while checking email, etc.

11:30 am: fall asleep on couch.

1:30 pm: get up, make noodle soup for lunch. Go back to couch, watch CMT Crossroads (Taylor Swift and Def Leppard).

3 pm: call Rand at work. Get mail. Fall asleep on couch.

5:30 pm: wake up when Rand gets home from work. Lie on the couch whimpering softly while watching The Daily Show.

Spend rest of evening lounging, trying to get rid of horrible headache.

I still pretty much feel like death warmed over. Standing up for more than 15 minutes at a time has been challenging. Debating about whether to call in sick tonight, or wait and see how I feel in the morning.
