Illness in Time For a Four-day Weekend

[jamesq]

So I was feeling low-grade crappy last night, but I still went out for a few hours to the pub with othelianna (we were hoping for others to join us, but shit happened). Bad enough that I didn't want to do any drinking, which was fine.

As the evening out progressed, I was feeling better, but it was not to be. Around 1 in the morning the chills started. I was shivering uncontrollably and trying to find a comfortable position to relax so I could sleep through whatever the hell I had. After a few hours of that the fever set in and I did manage to fall asleep. I woke up weak, achey but still better then I felt last night. I'm hoping whatever the hell hit me is short lived as I would like to enjoy this weekend.

I sense having a big breakfast or lunch is not the smartest thing I could do. On the bright-side, I'm not all that hungry.

So I was thinking about going to Banff today - even had a few people lined up ready to go. That's not in the cards now. I think I'll spend the day on the couch alternately watching TV and reading a trashy Stephen King novel.

Bad as I feel, I am well aware that it's preferable to being in the trenches at Dieppe or Juno beach. For those who served, I cannot express my thanks enough.

I hope you feel better soon. Which Stephen King novel are you reading? My favorite is the "Dark Tower" series.

Also I have you beat. In the middle of my two week vacation my husband decided to move out. I woke up Saturday morning and he said "I'm moving out today." He didn't give any indications the night before or in the preceding week. But I'm doing the best I can.

Anyway, I do hope you feel better so you can enjoy your time some.

I'm trying to read the "Under the Tome Dome". As for your husband, that pretty terrible - though I'm not sure what circumstances could improve something like that. It would make a good day bad and a bad day worse.

I haven't read "Under the Dome" yet, but I heard it was pretty good. I find it's either hit or miss with Stephen King. Try the "Dexter" novels by Jeff Lindsey if you haven't yet. They're pretty good.
