lareinenoireWhat illness is it that makes everything hurt? Literally everything?
I woke up yesterday feeling slightly under the weather, but nothing too serious. Then as I started walking into town to meet a friend of mine for hot chocolate, it started to hurt to breathe. I more or less ignored it since I had work to do after said chocolate meeting. Around 1:30PM or so, I headed into Duke Humfrey's for what was supposed to be a marathon six-hour session with my pile of ten stack requests, and hopefully some more work done on Hall.
Not so much. I started getting dizzy spells. The first time, I just closed my eyes to rest them for a few minutes, but when the dizziness came back the second time, I decided to walk around a bit and have some water. Again, helped a little, but not very much. By the end of the afternoon, the headache had set in and did not go away. There was a free evening thing at the Ashmolean that I really wanted to attend, so I ignored the headache and went. The fact that Katie and I later had to walk back to our respective houses in the pouring rain probably did not help.
I came in, changed, made myself the throat remedy I used last term (lemon juice, honey, and hot water), and went to bed. I suppose I slept reasonably well once I could get to sleep -- I was alternately too hot, too cold, too whatever, and having bizarre dreams where everybody was speaking German.
Woke up this morning and, in spite of the headache having thankfully calmed down, everything hurts. So I've e-mailed the other director, asking him to take over rehearsal for today, that I'll try my best to get there but I can't make any promises. Especially since it would be better for me to miss this one than, say, dress on Friday.
Ugh. I need to go to Tesco and buy honey and ibuprofen but I'm afraid that if I try to walk any long distance, the dizziness will come back. I'm having enough trouble getting to the kitchen at this point...
