Blah.

Current temp: 100.1.

I just woke up. DM called to check on me.

I had weird dreams last night, but the only thing that I can remember is that they all seemed to end the same way: I'm standing in todc's house, looking out the picture window in his living room. There's a desert outside as far as my eye can see, and a city skyline on the horizon. As I watch, the city vanishes in a nuclear explosion.

That image woke me several times. Very annoying.

Despite the temperature reading, my head doesn't feel that feverish. I was bundled up in my comforter while I slept, so I'm expecting my temperature to drop in the next few minutes now that I'm up. My throat hurts a bit more, not just when I swallow. Drinking something should soothe that.

On the move

Current temp: 98.3

DM called about thirty minutes ago and I gave him directions to my apartment. He'll be stopping by to collect me and then conveying me to Rockville, where I'll be house sitting for todc and taking care of Lucy and Edwina, his dog and cat.

I've packed a bag full of dirty clothes, since I didn't have the energy to leave the apartment today and I need clean things for the next week.

I still feel a little out of it. I'm not doing as badly as I was last night, so I'm doing without any aspirin or other non-HIV medication. I'm still drinking my fluids, however. I'll be taking my bottle with me to Tod's house.

This is the first time I've been sick in a year, which is a pretty amazing thing to me. What's more, this is relatively mild. No diarrhea, no vomiting, nothing truly nasty. The worst part has been the fever. Things truly could be worse.
