All better today.

[mckitterick]

After class last night - heck, DURING class, too - I was a water-drinking fiend. I must have downed a couple gallons of water, plus a glass of Emergen-C, plus a mimosa. Watched a few episodes of Supernatural to distract the mind before bed. I get kind of emotional when I have a fever, so of course poor Dean's predicaments made me cry and cry.

Went to bed before midnight, where I sweated out all those liquids plus a lot more during the night. The bed was soaked; I had to use towels to get back to sleep in the middle of the night. Gross. Slept about 10 hours. Checked my weight; down almost 5 pounds of water, I assume. I'll be rehydrating today.

Last night's fever reached 102.5°; this morning, it's 98.4°. Tada! All better! Just feel a bit tired today.

EDIT: Okay, that was a little too good to be true. ALMOST better today, though a bit of fever came back after spending an hour or so in the sun at the local swap meet. Feh.

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Take it easy, though. Your body needs a little time to replenish from the fierce battle with evil viruses.

Yeah, I kind of overdid it yesterday by walking around outside in the sun for more than an hour at the swap meet. Felt like crap after that. Of course, not being able to get to sleep last night (the heat?) didn't help me feel awesome today. *sigh*
