my body aches

Most of today was spent lying on the couch. My body hurt so much when I woke this morning that movement was kept to a minimum. I knew that this was coming, because I first sensed it last Saturday night. I knew then that my body wasn't quite right, but it took a few days before whatever it is that has a hold of me now to fully get its grip. Thankfully I had rented four movies on Sunday and I was able to watch them throughout the day.

As the day wore on, I did start to feel better as I alternately watched movies and slept. Maybe I am overreacting, but I just do not make a good sick person. Whatever I have isn't crippling, but it is so annoying being able to feel every joint in my body at the same time. None of this makes me happy and I just want it to stop. I also want to prevent it from getting any worse. The dreary weather made it easy for me to just lounge around the house. Why should I go outside in the cold and rain when I can huddle under blankets and watch movies all day.
