Cripes I'm sick a lot this winter

[wispfox]

Or perhaps I just forget how often I get sick in winter...

In either case, I would really like the constant headache, exhaustion, variable nausea, being _COLD, and achiness to _STOP_. I'll try going into work tomorrow, but if the latter half of last week, the past weekend, and today are any indication, I'm going to be falling over from exhaustion and unable to read anything a few hours in. Which sucks at work, where there is nowhere to nap.

Made for many surreal conversations this weekend. And impressive difficulties following conversations.

I'm having a hell of a time deciding if the break that I am about to take because I'm exhausted would be better spent napping or going outside in the sun for a brief walk. The latter will help season stuff, but bed sounds _SO_ nice right now.

At least I have this Friday off. And even through absurd exhaustion, I did have a good weekend (even if I think I confused everyone who is not familiar with me and being sick). Much approval of squishings. And sweeties. And starandreas. Who my brain thinks fits into sweeties, even though that usually only includes people I'm dating. Confused brain.

Can't decide if aspirin actually helps my head or not, but of the things I've tried, I think it is most likely to help. (I should actually ever remember to check my temp, although right now I bet it's normal)

No. Attention. Span.

And I _can_ (somewhat) force alertness. Sorta. But it costs.

Ok, I go for a walk to the Library, and then I see about a nap. And whether or not my body is willing to let me feed it. (right now, food is actively unpleasant to contemplate)

Ok, no. I really should not be dumb and try to go into work. I've only been up for 2 hours, and remaining up is complex and makes my head hurt. Meh.

How'd you sleep last night?

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Alright, as far as I remember. But I could not get out of bed until 10:30, even though my alarm was set for 9.

Sounds like you're on the mend, then, and your body demanded sleep so it could FIX stuff!

I... guess?

But that's the pattern I've had since I first started suspecting I was sick: that I _COULD NOT_ get out of bed in the morning. You saw that Sunday morning, and that was after not sleeping well/deeply/being awake in the middle of the night (which usually means I get up more easily in the immediate sense).

I feel like I'm worsening, not improving, but my perspective may be skewed here. :)

I am amused by the concept of multiple starandreas. Can multiple wispfoxes be far behind?

Yeah, I remember having that problem back when I worked there. I heard rumour that the company is moving to new quarters... was a "nap room" incorporated in the new design? :) [I recently interviewed at a company in Cambridge that had just that, among other things. I'd go there in a minute if they'd take me as a contractor... but no...]
