I'm a moron.
I've been feeling pretty good recently - good enough in fact, that I felt like going out & "celebrating my b-day last Wed. My plan was to hit the Well, and maybe B3ll's downtown. I know not to go downtown during the week, but it's the 1st time I wanted to celebrate my b-day in well over a decade. Unfortunately, I ended up going a few more places & closed the night at the Karaoke bar, left around 1:30a.
Too many drinks & only 3.5 hrs sleep is not good for anyone. I felt like hell all day, metabolism was way off, head started to get congested, I was cold most of the day. That night, I started taking meds to keep the congestion at bay, because I know myself well enough know to know when I'm coming down with something. I started running a fever around 5-6p that night, went to bed early (like 7:30p), and slept fitfully. Between the lack of sleep & the meds, when I lay down all I could feel was my heartbeat thumping in my chest. It was a little unnerving, but not unknown to me.
Anyway, I've been taking OTC meds & running a fever ever since. I had family friends/family in from out of town/out of state (respectively) and I had to decline both Friday & Saturday, because (not to sound like an ass, but) they're all older (70's-ish, and my G'ma is 98), and I didn't want to take a chance on getting any of them sick. There have been a lot of articles in the news about young, healthy people dying from the flu this year, and none of them are young/healthy, you know?
There's an obvious lesson here, now the question is, will I learn from it? Only time will tell, I suppose. (and no, the title isn't the lesson!)
