it is 1:20 am, I've been sick all day and slept fitfully thru a lot of it... I have to get up for work at 7am and now I can't get to sleep... argh! I have this flu that I get every few years, it's baked... I don't get stuffiness or congestion, my throat doesn't hurt, I basically get a mild fever, some chills, cold sweats... but the kicker is the severe back ache... some people complain of sore muscles with the flu, I feel like someone has take a hammer to my back... right from the top of my neck down to the backs of my knees... it all cramps up and aches and burns... copious amounts of painkillers take the edge off, but it doesn't go away and it makes comfort pretty much impossible... I remember the first time I got it when I was around 10 years old... I was in the mall shopping with my cousins and my back started seizing up and hurt like a mother fucker... I eventually had to go to the bank my mom worked in and sit and wait for her to finish work to take me home... what a nightmare... and while it doesn't come every year, it comes often enough to make me dread it... I know the symptoms and I know the feeling, no other sickness I've had is quite like it...
wah, wah, wah... quit your whining, it goes away pretty quick... the unfortunate part about this bout is that I have to work through it and because the car is still in Truro until Thursday, I've been bussing it back and forth... the bus hurts my back on a regular day, this morning on the way home I was ready to end it all and just throw myself in front of the bus...
so here I am, watching the seconds tick by, getting chills and cold sweats in succession, which is making my bed a hot/cold sweaty torture... aching in successive waves of muscle cramps and burning sensations... unable to sleep and thinking about how much fun training folks is going to be at 9am... ugh...
on a happier note, I may not have to work on the 27th, so my trip to CB for Christmas may not be an overnighter :) yay!
now, on to taking over the world! I should go talk to those 2 white rats, they are pros at that... NARF!
not delusional at all are you, not delusional at all...
