With the pace of things lately, I guess I've been wishing for some serious do-nothing time. You know, time to just lay around, watch TV and not feel obligated to do much of anything.

As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for."

On Thursday, I could barely function. It was all I could do to focus on work and just get through the day. I felt feverish and heavy.

Paul and I carpooled, and he couldn't leave early, so I had to stay at the office anyway.  We even had social plans with another couple immediately after work that day, but I called in the afternoon to cancel. All I wanted was to go home and go to bed, so, as soon as Paul was done, we came straight home.

It turned out that I had a fever of almost 102. I can't recall the last time I had a fever like that.

Friday morning, the fever broke and I wasn't as lethargic, but I still didn't feel quite right. I was a bit more energetic as the day went on, which made me optimistic.

Unfortunately, I've felt like crap all weekend. No fever, but I have this unproductive cough. On the rare occasion it is productive, it's not pretty.

So, I guess I'm off to the doctor tomorrow, provided I can get an appointment. We leave for South Africa in two weeks, and I need to be rid of any trace of this. 

And it'll be a long time before I wish I could lay in bed and watch TV all day and not feel guilty!
