I had a 101-degree fever after contracting some kind of bug two afternoons ago.
I was walking with a friend two evenings ago, and I could feel the sickness beginning, first with a scratchy throat and then with a sinus infection.
I ran myself down a lot over the weekend playing volleyball, so I have no one to blame but myself. My friend and I come into contact with several people who are carrying germs, but if our immune systems are strong, our bodies stomp them out. But when you’re tired and hot from a game of ball, you can compromise your immune system, and it starts cooling down and not toiling like it should, so I’ll be at home for the next few afternoons writing these articles and just resting a lot, like last evening when I slept for almost 13 hours, and I plan on turning on my portable air con system in my kitchen later and going to bed early again, like last ev. I went to bed at 9 p.m. last night and didn’t get out of bed until 10 a.m. this morning, which was enjoyable because the body requires all of the rest it can get to supply it with energy to argue this thing. I’ll work on my heating and air conditioning system all day, taking breaks along the way, and hope to finish it before my head hits the pillow this evening. I feel terrible because my enjoyable friend was supposed to visit yesterday, and I had to tell him he shouldn’t stay here.
