I was up late last night. As I was changing for bed, I got a chill, and it didn't leave me for more than an hour. I spent forty minutes shivering in bed, wanting to get up and put on more clothes (despite already wearing sweats and having two blankets on myself), but not wanting to leave the relative warmth of what I had.
Finally I dragged myself up, pulling my blankets with me. I put on socks and a hoodie, then plodded downstairs to ask if anybody had any tylenol to kill what I suspected to be a fever. Maggie got up and checked my forehead - not warm. She told me to go take a hot hot shower and to jump right into warm pjs when I got out.
That shower felt so good, I didn't want to leave it. I spent quite a while in there, then hesitatingly climbed out, bundled back up, and went back downstairs. She handed me a mug of hot tea (sorry, Blood:Water....it was necessary), and I sipped it for a while, then went back upstairs to cuddle back up in bed. With an third blanket. In Texas. In March.
So this morning when I got up, though my teeth were no longer chattering, I was still lethargic. I spent the morning working from home, which went surprisingly well. Normally "working" from home means hardcore nap time. But I fiddled around with some documents I'm working on, decided I made them worse, did some other research, and finally decided at noon that I needed to go into the office.
Where I am now.
Where I should be doing work instead of blogging.
You win some, you lose some.
Proof that I'm at least partially working: The 2010 hurricane season is going to be a doozy. 12-15 named storms, 3-5 major hurricanes.
I'm going to go write about that now.
