you give me fever

May 14th, 2008

I have had a fever since Monday.  I thought I didn’t feel well Monday so when I got home, finally, I took my temperature.  It was 101.  Yesterday I went into student teaching and had to leave at noon.  I was miserable and freezing to death.  Fever 103.  I stayed home today.  Today after Tylenol  it’s 100.  I can’t remember the last time I had a fever and it sucks.  I took a tepid shower.  I feel like crap.  I am popping the Tylenol every 6 hours.  I hope my liver forgives me.  I have a doctor’s appointment on Friday so if I am not better by then, he can help me out.  I am drinking Gatorade to stay hydrated.  My biggest worry is not eating enough and getting light headed.   I seriously wanted to call my mom and have her come over and take care of me.  What can she do?  I don’t know.  But I feel so horrible.  BF is trying.  He has waited on my hand and foot and sat outside the shower.  I just wanted to whine.  Now I will go back to bed.  BLAH!

Sunday again

May 11th, 2008

I swear the weekend goes by much too fast!   Although the weeks seem to be zooming by too!  I did go shopping a little bit yesterday.  I needed a couple of cool cotton shirts - it’s starting to warm up here in Northern California.  I did not have to go the large women area to buy my clothes!  No more 1x  (what the hell kind of size is that anyway?)  YEAH!  I bought one top that was XL and one that was L.  I was very happy about this.  I also was able to fit into my Liz Claiborne size 14 skirt I bought on sale a couple of years ago without trying it on and have never been able to wear it.   It was a good feeling.  I try not to get bogged down by how much weight I still have to use because that is depressing.  Instead I think about what I have lost and feel good about it.  I noticed my feet don’t hurt anymore.  Poor feet used to to ache by the end of the day.  The little over forty pounds I have lost I am sure has helped. 

I am going to go and read yesterday’s paper.  I read today’s and Friday’s.  Now to find out what happened yesterday…

 Last week was stupid busy and I am glad it’s over.  We went to see Ironman yesterday.  It was good.  I ate some popcorn with butter.  It was good but I didn’t need to eat a whole lot to be satisfied.  That was a good thing. 

Good night my fair ladies.  Sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite!
