Happy Freaking New Year!

2010 is starting off with a hell of a bang.

Sometime around sundown on the 1st, I began to feel chilled and shivery. Took my temp, and, sure enough: 102.3. Felt OK in the morning (had to--taking Brendan to the bus), but I have spent the last couple of days alternately shivering, burning up, sleeping, sweating, sucking down anything wet, including what Sabrina calls "little packets of fizzy goodness." I fell asleep in the bathtub and woke with half the water leaked out, feeling like a beached whale.

Oh, let's not forget the laundry. Several loads of sweaty clothes and sheets.

I have to go back to work tomorrow. I feel pretty good today (so far), but my days and nights are totally messed up, sleeping three hours here and four, there.

Wish me luck!
