So 25% of my team called in sick today. Just today.

So maybe I should check in with somebody….

Anyways, I described my symptoms to a nurse friend of mine (including the part where I could get more sleep over the weekend than I normally would without Ambien, i.e., any). She says it sounds like mono. It has been a bit more painful to swallow than usual (I gargle with salt water, and I didn’t the past two days because it hurt), and I’ve been hit sideways with the bus of sleep even though I have bad insomnia.

Nausea is probably part of the package, I didn’t ask specifically about that, but I know I can’t eat very much.

Anyways, she’s coming over later to see me and bring stuff. It helps that we’re not close to a triggering holiday.

She also says to drink enough liquids or gods help her….

Can you tell I don’t take care of myself very well?

Amusingly, this reminds me of Holmes and Watson for some reason.
