i've been sick

a severe cold or the flu? i don't know but i do know that i have felt horrible for the past four days, yesterday being the worst day of all. i didn't even enjoy the many hours of daytime TV that i would ordinarily enjoy on a healthy day. the plus side has been that i got to use two sick days to get better. i rarely use sick days. in fact these are the first two sick days i have used at this job that i have been at for a little over a year. the sick day i am using today is mostly to make sure i am feeling better and to get everything cleaned up and washed in the apartment (blankets, germ-infested surfaces). i had a slight fever last night, nothing too high but high enough to keep me sweating all night long although i slept pretty soundly when i was out. i woke up only once at 2:30 a.m. i woke up thinking, "wow, i feel much better". it must have been when my fever finally broke and i was back to normal. well, not normal but the cold sweats stopped and that was nice. now if i can only get rid of my cough and chest congestion i will be 100%.
