Now on the upswing

Yesterday, I think, was the worst of it. slacker_97 stayed home to take care of me, even though he hates missing work, and I pretty much spent all day in bed, not really awake or asleep. Just miserable. At about 1:00 this morning, my fever broke. It was awful. I was drenched in sweat, and completely dehydrated, and had a horrible headache. I finally fell asleep at 3, and woke up around 9:00. Yeah, I probably could have used more sleep, but I didn't want to be in bed anymore! I showered, and put my contacts in, and now I'm more or less trying to function normally. My throat is still sore, and I still have an unattractive cough, but I can live with this.

Still Recovering...

I was capable of getting out of bed today, and I even stayed awake all day, but I've been utterly exhausted. So instead of reading and doing all my homework (hw I've already lost 4 days on) I just said "fuck it" and watched The Philadelphia Story, Talk of the Town, and Arsenic and Old Lace. Yes, it was Cary Grant day. Cary Grant always makes me feel better, god bless him.

Incidentally, Talk of the Town was one of the sweetest, gayest love stories I have ever seen. It's one of my new favorites.

Now we're watching the Riff-trax for Halloween. So far, I've already had to choke out "Ow. Laughing hurts." And it's only been on for five minutes.
