So, fever and chills hit yesterday evening. My hands were so cold they hurt.
Fever broke around 11 or 12.
Between that and the fact that I've eaten nothing but toast and chicken broth for the last 24 hours (most of which went, ehm, straight thru), I feel completely wrung out.
So I'm "working" from home again.
Recommend movies to watch? I have Netflix. That's pretty much it.

I'm sorry, 2curlydogs. Are you at least able to stay hydrated? Try some Pedialyte. It's gross, but it really does work.
I've apparently contracted some sort of upper respiratory virus. This is garbage. Yesterday my salivary glands were swollen so the bottom of my mouth hurt to swallow. I've been up since 3:30 with a sore throat. And the glands in my neck are swollen, too. I went running at 5:20 because it's not like I was getting back to sleep. I am at work because I can't stay home for a week while a stupid cold runs its course and I barely interact with anyone anyway. But this sucks because I am a total zombie from lack of sleep. And I'm supposed to drink lots of fluids, but of course, swallowing hurts like a mofo.
I slept really well last night. Then as I was walking to let the dogs out I stretched... and HOLY HELL something in my back popped and took a muscle with it. OW!

I hope you guys feel better!
I have jury duty tomorrow, and I won't know until after 5:30 tonight if I need to show up. My ideal is to get called but not have to serve: civic duty completed, plus a day to sit and read in the waiting room.

How concerned should I be about these glands? The ones in my neck hurt to even light touch. I imagine there is nothing a doctor can do because this is probably viral, right? Is there anything I can do besides OTC meds and fluids? Am I dying?

Not too concerned, because there's a reason for them to be swollen (you're sick). However, I'd go to the doctor. You might have strep, and you can get antibiotics for strep if you'd like!

Feel better ladies.
I realized every time I come back from a wedding, I come home and play "The Wobble" everyday for like a week, and dance to it at least once a day. Same for cupid shuffle. Hey, at least it's some form of movement for the day.
I'm like iammalcolmx and want to dance every time I hear it.
I'm sad HBC is missing the shit still unfolding on ML wherein Elle tries to tell everyone what is more offensive to black people while she tries to defend Stellas.
I am considering a garage sale. But I know I will hate it profoundly and don't want to do any work.
I might be ready for summer to be over.... boots, leggings. But I will miss my pretty, bright makeup colors. So maybe I am not ready for fall.
I got a mole cut off my face and biopsied yesterday. Which wouldn't normally be a big deal, but I'm leaving tonight for a conference the rest of the week.
A bandaid on my face isn't going to look THAT stupid, is it?

I picked a fight with DH this morning - over a stool and a comment about my outfit. Don't call your wife's work outfit "a little casual, like you're going to the beach or something!" That guy makes a comment about my clothes about 6 days out of 7. It's not, "You look nice." or anything benign, it's usually, "Are you wearing THAT to (insert event/work/out)?"
I'm over it!
But now I want to Wobble thanks to orangeblossom (or it the correct vernacular to "do The Wobble?).
Damnit, NewOrleans. It took my like 45 min to catch up yesterday - now there is someone in there defending Stellas?! I don't have time for this.
2curlydogs - feel better. I watched "Words and Pictures" on Netflix not long ago - it has Juliette Binoche and is a romantic comedy and I really liked it.

Well, kind of. She GBCN'd. And there is fallout in her GBCN thread. It's miserable, tbh. I can't look away now, though! I have to see it through to its final conclusion.
My back hurts. I think we need a new mattress, which we cannot afford anytime soon unless I don't go on two trips I've had planned for a long time and involve races that I've been training all summer for. #selfish

eta: what is your husband's damn problem?
That guy cares about clothes and is pretty good and buying me things that I look good in and wouldn't have considered for myself... no idea why he is so good b/c he wears dickies and a button up plaid shirt or T-shirt everyday. Plus, to his credit, I am wearing a dress that I also wear as a swimsuit cover-up most of the time, but with a button down over it.
However, I get so sick of someone else giving me critique comments on my clothes every.damn.day. I think I would take his comments better if he said them with Tim Gunn's delivery...
Also...it's been 60 hours since I sat next to a camp fire. I've run twice and washed my hair three times. My hair *still* smells like campfire smoke, the smell of which I loathe. This is why camping makes me stabby.
So, Tiny ended up being ok. Though, like your stereotypical millennial naval-gazing kickstarter-funded film, it really failed to make a larger point. Which it could have. It TRIED, but didn't quite drive it home.
orangeblossom my team and I did a flashmob dance to the wobble as part of a work presentation a couple of years ago. I was wobbling dressed like Voltron. My costume was made from cardboard boxes. Imagine wearing cardboard boxes on your legs, arms, shoulders and head and wobbling. It was entertaining.
My daughter laughed so hard at the video she asks me to wobble sometimes.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Also for laughter - my 8 year old daughter still likes me to sing to her at night sometimes. It helps her fall asleep. I think it helps that I sing like a Disney character. Anyway, her favorite "lullaby" right now is Bohemian Rhapsody, ha!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* I hope all you sickies start feeling better soon!!
