Day 3 of NaNo + feeling sicker

[mistressofmuses]

Ugh, I feel so much worse today. I've got a low-grade fever now, plus some real lovely body aches and chills. And the sore throat has gotten worse, too. *cry, whine, complain*

I did stay home from work today, and mostly slept, though then had work anxiety dreams.

If I still feel like this, I think I'm going to stay home again. This makes me feel bad, because we're still in crisis mode at work (I guess the database has come back up intermittently, but requires a VPN to access for now? Or something?). Plus my manager has her interview tomorrow. But I'm not sure I could sit upright at my desk, much less have to talk on the phones all day.

Day 3 of NaNo - wrote 1786 words today. Still over where I need to be, if barely.

Ugh. I kind of want to curl up and die, lol. Gonna catch up on dw stuff later.

Oh no, feel better!
And that reminds me to schedule a flu shot!

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you!

I should get a flu shot - I haven't this year yet, either!

[olivermoss]

That sounds miserable. I hope you feel better soon.

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you, me too.

Ugh. You sound like death warmed over - just barely. You deserve to stay home and a) take care of yourself first and foremost and b) not make your coworkers feel like shit in turn. There might be a lot of issues there at work, but you being there just to be a body, but a body that can barely function properly because of The Sickness, isn't actually being productive or helpful. Feel better! *hugs*

I feel like death warmed over. ;_; I did stay home, because you're right - I wouldn't even be much use at work if I did go in, except for maybe spreading the crud. I'm not feeling much better, but I'm at least not worse.

I'm sorry you felt worse this day! It's a good thing you stayed home.

I hate sore throats, too! I think I said that already, but it's worth repeating. *g*
