I'm sick... still.

It started yesterday when I woke up with a raw throat. I emailed-in sick and then just sat there doing nothing all day... somehow, when you do nothing to aggravate the flu, it always gets worse. By the time the evening came around, I was due downtown to sit in on Melanie's birthday dinner and was feeling alright. I got bundled up (12 articles of clothing) and made my trek downtown, but half way through dinner, I was falling apart, concentrating on breathing, trying not to pass out... it was a difficult experience.

And so after limping back to Melanie's house, I passed out from exhaustion at 9pm, shiverring and overheating, I've had a miserable last 24hours.

I'm a little better this morning after taking two Advil (pressure in the brain is less intense, so I can walk again), but I'm staying in and doing nothing today for fear of this bug kicking my ass again. I'm supposed to go see Rick Mercer tomorrow after all.

The flu on Valentines Day and your girlfriend's 40th birthday? You certainly know how to romance a girl.

Um... NO
Mel is 30 as of the 14th. Scott was trying to be funny by making my friends think that I'm dating a cougar. Thanks Scott! :-P

You know.. 40's not that far off. You're almost 30 (give or take 2 years)... so can you truly call that cougar dating? I'd say if Scott said Mel was 50, then that's cougarish.

She really is 40. I'm guessing Daniel hasn't looked too closely at her photo ID.
