am I dying?
Am I dying? At this point I don't care. I picked up a bug --probably from Peter, the guy that runs the lab that I work in-- and it's really a bothersome thing. The two people that work under him were out 3 days last week and might have been out yesterday as well--I didn't see any of them. While I went to work in the morning, I gave up on it around noon and came home. I won't be going in today either. My voice barely works and every time my fever breaks I start sweating to death . The same thing was happening to Peter last week but he was there at the lab anyway. Spreading his viruses to the rest of us, I might add!
This has been a bad week for my poor head and bod. Friday I was out from work due to a migraine that unbeknownst to me at the time presages a sinus infection. Friday night and Saturday I was suffering the symptoms of a mild Gall Bladder mishap and then this cold made its presence known around the same time as the sinus infection started draining. At first I thought the cold symptoms--coughing and sore throat--were from the sinuses draining but it went on too long and by Monday it was obvious that I was diseased. I had to move some specimens around but snuck in when nobody was in the lab yet and came home by noon.
Right now I'm sipping tea with a touch of Canadian whiskey in it and heavily laced with this delightful sugar from Hawaii that I just love to pieces. As long as I keep drinking this sweet concoction my throat feels fairly good. Within minutes of stopping my throat feels like raw meat with sandpaper on the inside and outside. And I sound like Lurch from The Adams Family. And it's hard to sleep. Damn.
I'd toss in a picture of me right now but nobody deserves that sort of punishment. Let's just say that I'm not a pretty picture and leave it at that. Here's a picture from a soccer game I was at on Sunday instead.

I have 3 co workers that could learn from you.
Feel better soon!
Get well soon Dave (((hugs)))
Get better!
So sorry about the virus. I had a round of the stomach thing and I woud almost rather die than have that. My sinuses are always mucked up so I'm getting used to it. I guess all the years of formalin have done them in.
Feel better soon.
