| Well, I caught the crud that’s going around. I perpetually have stuffed and useless sinuses the last few years, which is a shame because I used to be known for a shockingly keen sense of smell, though certainly not anytime recently. |  |
Wednesday morning I awoke at about 3 am with a dry and pasty tongue from breathing through my mouth only, tried to work a few hours to give my sinuses a chance to drain. Thursday morning I awoke around 4 am with the same conditions, but also with mildly sore ears and throat, so I figured my allergies must have developed into a full blown infection. I managed to get an appointment with the doctor at 2 pm, who agreed with me and prescribed Rhinocort and Clarinex and a general antibiotic. I skipped dance practice Thursday night as I was not feeling up to it. That turned out to be wise, as Friday morning I began spiking fevers and felt much worse. I tried being out sick, but ended up working from home most of the day between cat naps. I can’t stay warm, then I break a fever; that has cycled several times. I am beginning to suspect I caught the crud (virus) though I probably was weakened by the infection. Sigh. At lease Anne was wonderful enough to send a Bossa Nova & Samba: The Gold Collection boxed set with Erci last night, it is cheering me up. Thanks Erci and thanks Anne.
