It's a good thing I was told to work from home today. If I'd had to go to the office, I would've probably called in sick.

It all started when I awoke in the middle of the night with a runny nose. I found cold medicine, but it was the non-drowsy variety. I debated whether or not to take it, and decided I would rather have a nose that didn't run, even if it meant I was going to be awake. (Frankly, a runny nose keeps me from sleeping, so one out of two ain't bad).

I took the medicine at 2:30 a.m., and I was in what I like to call a meringuey phase for the next 12 hours. It eventually wore off, and I didn't take another dose.

Boy, is sitting in front of the computer all day exhausting!

I finally decided to bathe at about 5:30 p.m., but didn't really feel like going out for dinner. (Sorry, Unk!) I guess when you have a low-grade fever and don't eat much, you get tired. And, since I was working, I couldn't even take a nap in the middle of the day.

Of course, by the time I realized just how tired I was, it was too late for a nap. I'm going to have to stick it out until 10 p.m., and go to bed as usual.
