  • Another Sick Night And Day...

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I guess I can't ignore or just try to ride out whatever it is that has me in it's hold.  I'm going to have to get in to see my doctor.  I need to see him anyway for my A1C test and to renew my medications.  I also have a few things I need to discuss with him.

    I was very sick last night and most of today.  The Beast thought I was just being a sluggard or else stayed up until dawn.  He heard me a few times (probably either when I got up for water or the bathroom since that's all I did) and glanced at the clock and thought I hadn't even been to bed yet.  Jerk!

    I was running a temperature of 100 and 101 at one point.  Why it keeps going up and down, I have no idea.  Right now it's at 99 and I am not uncomfortable but do NOT feel well.  I only ate a Cup of Noodles (they call it *Cup o' soup but...)
    for something in my stomach.  I couldn't even face a piece of toast.

    Chewlee was smart and watched her cartoons on *Papa's* TV and she also played her games on his computer.  I'm glad since I'm not sure what the hell it is that I might have and whether or not it's something she could catch.  She DID do something cute for me.  I have this one game site that pays you extra coins every few hours and she actually got on my computer and watched for the *Collect* sign to pop up.  She then clicked on it for me.  She did that twice for me and I was both elated and happy that she had done that.  It also showed me how closely she watches what I do!

    She got to have her play date with Birdie's kids today...well, this evening.  She was very happy about that but Birdie didn't feed her anything like she normally does even though she picked up Chewlee at what WAS their normal dinner time.  I just wish she had told us that they had eaten out earlier and I could have fed Chewlee BEFORE she left instead of having to feed her when she got home.  But Chewlee also loves the cup of noodles so that's what she said she wanted.  I really should buy a case of those to keep here.  They're great when you don't feel well OR if you really aren't that hungry.

    As usual, I was again sweating like a pig but had some acrylic blend pajamas on so when I was soaked, I put on a light cotton blend.  Those got soaked, too, so I ended up with a dorm shirt for the third change this afternoon.  I seem to do the sweating when I am sleeping and only sweat on my head when I am awake.  I look like I just got out from under the shower for HOURS and you can see sweat dropping from the ends of the hairs around my neck.  Chewlee, of course, thinks that's funny and doesn't understand why I am doing that.  But it has made her seem to want to compete with me on who is the sweatiest. 

    It's pouring out so the humidity will be up tomorrow but, right now, it's allowing a cool breeze into my computer room and that is very welcome.  I hope you are enjoying whatever weather you are having and have had a good start to the new week.  Love you all.
