No More Fever

Last night my low grade fever finally subsided. Unfortunately this did not happen without upsetting Brenda. Due to my fever, I was tossing and turning in bed and I was only vaguely aware of where I was last night. I do remember moving around quite a bit and the covers getting wrapped around me. Suddenly she said that she had had enough and went into the living room to lie down. She was on the couch this morning when I went into the shower.

When I got out of the shower, she had moved back into the bedroom and was in bed. I left her alone and slept for about an hour on the couch. I know she would never believe me, but the couch is much more comfortable than her bed. She has a waterbed for her back and says that she can't sleep on anything else. My back however is usually stiff after a night on the waterbed. I feel as though I am sleeping on a bean bag, because there is no support. This is coming from someone who put sheets of plywood under his mattress in college and used to sleep on a futon.

I am so weak. I took some more medicine this morning. I know that is what kept me awake last night. Brenda thought that I should have taken more medicine, but I know my body better than she does. The alcohol in the medicine does not agree with me. Alcohol is general does not agree with me.

I have problems understanding people who either pass out or vomit from drinking too much alcohol. I have never passed out and it has been years since I vomited from alcohol. I know what my body can and can not handle. Its not that hard of a skill to master. Then I really don't use alcohol as a way to relax either.

I spent my lunch hour in the park again. Less people today, but just as windy as yesterday. I am curious to see when people start coming out in bigger numbers. This probably won't happen until school is out.

Work actually had something for me to do today.

Here I sit having just eaten some pineapple for a snack while I scanned some photos for my mom, when I realize that it is Friday. This means that I have most of tomorrow to rest and get better. Brenda has to work from nine to two, so I should get some computer time in as well.

I want to be well again. I used to take pride in the fact that I didn't get sick, but something seems to have happened as I got older.
