The Icky news (ME)
I stayed at home this morning because I'm sick. Fever, sore throat, soreness and heaviness in my chest, cold sores on my mouth, general aching all over. I went to bed last night at 10, and absolutely couldn't drag myself out of bed until 9am. I meant to stay home all day, but at noon Thomas told me that Mother wanted me to come in because "Little Girl" wasn't there. And I know I'll have to go in tomorrow because I'm pretty sure Terry (aka Little Girl) won't come in tomorrow. And I'm sure I'll feel much better tomorrow, it's just one of those summer colds I was going to use for an excuse not to work.

The proud news (Thomas)
( Great stuff about Thomas, but long )

So anyway, there are office politics every where you go. But I'm still mostly loving being up here, and at the office

Gross sick. All the usual flu-ish symptoms. Thomas woke up sick Monday. Me, yesterday morning.

One funny little do-you-live-in-the-same-house-as-me Episode came because of Calculus. Thomas had a test Tuesday at 9am. He'd had a fever the night before of 102F and I'd written is professor that I wouldn't let him come in, hoped he be able to do a make-up. Prof writes back, "Please don't let him come sick." The next morning, in my delirium, I mumble something about, "Check on Thomas," before I pass back out. I slept 'til noon, And when I woke up Tomas was asleep on the couch. It wasn't until that night that someone said something about T having gotten 105 on his test. Test? What test? Seems Mark had taken "check on Thomas" as "get Thomas up and take him to calculus." Which he did. Dr. Tyler gave Thomas a test and made him sit in an empty classroom across the hall. I asked Thomas about telling Dad that mom had already emailed Dr. Tyler, and he said, "I'm sick, I couldn't remember all that." But the remembered 105% of the Calc. Strange brain my child. It's like the night he had his first little fender-bender, and he couldn't remember the other party's name, but he knew the license number.

I am having thoroughly confusing afternoon. I slept until noon, so that's part of the problem. But I needed to, I realize that part of how bad I've been feeling wasn't just pms/period -- I really did/do have a virus or something. I'd like to just forget I have a body, a lot of days, since it's become such a traitor, and just focus on my witty, charming personality and blazing intellect . But then I realize I'm so sick that I may be a tad delirious. At least, keeping things straight in my head is extraordinarily difficult.

Current Mood: numb

I just don't know if I still have what I had last week, or if I just keep catching stuff, or what. But I missed seeing the A's, at the party at Beth's because I feel so bad. I was running a fever of 100.5F. Couldn't even get out of bed until after noon, then Thomas had to wake me up and help. So I haven't really been productive today, and I needed to be. At least Thomas still went to the party, and took our brownies and cookies. He baked them all.

Now I just need to write a monthly report.

Mark gave me some sort of virus last week, and I was really bad last Friday. I thought I was getting better, but today I woke up with it back almost full force. I have been just "wiped" all day today. And I couldn't rest, because I had to go out to PT, and then a mammogram and ultrasound (my breasts are really lumpy with cysts, and that plus the reduction surgery make me really hard to read) then I had to meet Thomas out at a friend homeschooler's house for Archery. At least Mark was home and could take Thomas out to C's house so I didn't have to drag him to the MMG, or worry about rushing so we wouldn't be late, or how I would fit food for him into that schedule. I stayed out at C's for a while after talking (she's a new homeschooler, and that's part of my "mission" I guess you'd call it, being on the school board and a 10 year veteran, to be there and answer questions and offer support). And it was a pleasant day, perfect for being outside and watching kids shoot arrows. Slightly cloudy, but not raining, so a little cooler than usual. Still, by the time I did all that, I was truly not lucid. I came home and ate and passed out on the couch. And I never take naps. And it didn't really work. I'm still just icky. Probably go to bed early.

And Thomas and I are all on our own this weekend. Mark is in TN, just outside Chattanooga for the annual Fall TAG Cave-in. It's a big camp out and cave thing organized by an Atlanta Grotto (TAG is TN, AL, GA). He'll have a great time. I'd rather have a root canal. And it's not a weekend Mat is supposed to come home.

I've been sick, Thursday and Friday. I did manage to get to my "annual" (give or take 4 years) physical and pap on Thursday, but as the day wore on, I felt worse and worse. I went ahead an went to the NAASA meeting (No. AL. chapter of the Autism Society of America) and I shouldn't have. I was almost too miserable to drive home. So I went to bed early. Friday, I missed stuff. I was supposed to go to physical therapy, and I sure didn't feel like that, I was sore enough from that, plus the general aching of being sick. I also missed two school things. But it seemed they carried on without me.
