Yesterday dawned fresh and crisp and I greeted the day well-rested and full of enthusiasm. Met Carol for breakfast as usual, got some work done, met the new co-worker (Virginia, who shows every sign of being a fabulous addition to our team), and then somewhere just before lunch - blargh. Fever. Chills. Dizzy spells. Muscle aches. Oh good LORD what the hell is going on with me? Home again home again, to curl up under a blanket and be brought eggs and tea by my hubby, and cuddled by the cats. Early to bed, skipping the Detroit/Pittsburgh game.
5 a.m. Alarm goes off. I rise, feeling like I have a MILLION blankets on me when in fact there are none. Bathroom, thermometer, temp of 102 degrees. Oh good LORD what is going on? Dizzy as hell, phone the office and back to bed after a glass of juice and some Tylenol. Slept to 11 a.m., temp down to 99 degrees. Better. More juice, Tylenol and couch time. Knit a big chunk of Peter's new sock. Watched "The Mission" with Jeremy Irons and Robert DeNiro (depressing movie).
Now it's almost a quarter to seven and I am TOTALLY wiped out - I had a sandwich and lots more juice and even a half-mug of half-caf coffee to prevent the caffeine withdrawl headache. One more dose of juice and Tylenol and I am going back to bed with my hubby and my kitties (did I mention the girls are getting along ok now? As long as Mok doesn't steal Squeeky's treats, they're happy to be sharing space now). And tomorrow, I will go to work. And if this crap happens again, I'm calling the doctor, because mysterious high fevers with no other apparent symptoms are scary- especially if you watch "House" (which we do). On the plus side, I'm pretty sure it's not lupus.

Oh that sucks! I hope today dawned with you feeling much better.
mee too! It's never fun to be sick - but at least you have some kitties to keep you company!
Take two socks, and call the doc in the morning.
