| And then I got sick |
| 05.28.05 (1:25 pm) [edit] |
Perhaps it was because I was sleeping 5 hours a night and running myself ragged with work or play for the last week and a half, but my "little bit scratchy throat/probably just allergies" turned into a fever on Tuesday and flattened me.
I thought I was just tired ignored my symptoms andwent out for lunch by myself and read something. (have no clue what, really) After eating I walked for an hour and watched the fog come onto the bay. Then, I started shivering.
I know that a certain friend of mine, (*ahem,lynne*) once was so sick with a high fever that she forgot to take any aspirin so I'm not feeling too alone in my idiocy. Instead of walking to the bus stop, I walked over two of the city's steepest hills and went to the video store and rented "Tales". Once home, I sat on my bed and covered up in two blankets but could not shake the chill. Two hours of shivering later I touched my neck and realized that my glands were HUGE!.
In the land of the medicine cabinet, I found my thermometer, (101) my acetominophen, and a spare course of antibiotics. (I was a boy scout, Be Prepared!....or in this case, cover your ass because 'I Be Stupid' and sat in the cold all day with a fever. Duh!)
I had to call off work, which is terribly embarrassing to me. I always show up and fake it when I'm ill, but I was still fevery and trembling too much to go shaking any martinis with any accuracy.
A half gallon of juice, four gallons of water, 36 aceto's, 1500 mg of azithro 36 of 48 hours spent sleeping and I feel like my rockstar self again. Good thing, too. One of my co-bartenders was seriously injured yesterday and I have to work a lot of extra shifts in the next couple of weeks. Sparing gorey details, one should always remember to polish a glass with the outside of their hand, not the inside.
