Yesterday I felt like crap but I managed to power through the day.  Once I got home I was feeling a little better but then 6 pm rolled around and I started getting the chills and my entire body was aching.  I’m not sure this is because I have a sore throat, headache, fever, and no nasal congestion or coughing.  Could I just have some kind of infection that I can’t see or feel?

I went to bed around 8 and shivered, tossed, and turned under the covers wearing three layers and socks.  At about 10, I woke from a short nap and took my temp.  It was 100.6!!  It had been a very long time since the last time I had a fever and it is NO FUN.  I woke up at 6 am with my alarm and I was in no condition to go to work.  So, I called in sick for the day.  When I took my temp in the morning it was still 99.6 and I had the chills again.

After a morning nap, I felt good enough to take a walk.  So I went to lunch by myself at 12 when Mirian came back to put Kaylee down for her nap.  I got a spicy tuna roll and a tempura roll, which really hit the spot.

After lunch I went next door for a pedicure.  Their massage chair was AWESOME and it was just what I needed for my body aches.  The lady also gave me an extra-long foot/leg massage that helped too.  Aaah…

Thank goodness for Tylenol because it really helped reduce the symptoms.  The only catch was that I had to take it every 8 hours or else the chills and fever would kick in again.  Too bad it doesn’t make the sore throat go away.  So, I think I’m gonna be ok for work tomorrow but I’ll have to make sure I drink my fluids tonight and bring a bottle of Tylenol with me.  Wish me luck!
