I woke this morning, a few minutes before 5:00am, for no apparent reason. I turned off my alarm and got up.
One would think that, having gotten up so early, I might be inclined to get ready early, and therefore get to work early. I didn’t.
I spent the morning reading e-mail, cleaning out my ever cluttered home directory, and reading LiveJournal (one user in particular). I have decided that I need to make more use of the LJ memory feature.
I ended up leaving work yesterday at 2:00pm. I couldn’t stand up or walk in a straight line. I don’t know what was wrong with me. It felt VERY similar to the time I ate a baked potato and then got incredibly sick. At first, I didn’t know what could have caused it, until two days later I ate another baked potato and got sick all over again. The only thing I ate yesterday (prior to me getting sick) was a ziplock baggie full of Cheez-Its that came from a box I have been munching from for several days now with no ill effects. Other than that, I also had a cup of coffee from a gas station, because I was running late yesterday and didn’t have time to make any at home. But I always get coffee from that gas station and it has never made me sick before.
Driving home wasn’t easy. I was so dizzy, that I couldn’t see straight, and turning my head only made it worse. I just pushed my head against the back of my seat to hold it as still as possible, and kept focusing on the bumper of the car in front of me. When I got home I sat in the bathtub with the shower running on me until it ran out of hot water. Then I got in bed and slept on and off until jaclyn got home from work.
I had a couple really weird dreams in my very interrupted sleep, but I don’t recall even one of them.
At any rate, I feel 100% better now.
Tonight we are celebrating Have someshutterbugg>’s birthday with some bowling and laser-tagging fun. She said, “Have some” and for some reason that sounds dirty to me.
Since foxyred mentioned that I didn’t post any pictures of me from our evening at IHOP, I went through them all and picked out the best one for your viewing pleasure:
I miss you, Elizabeth.
