rebeccmeister | Poke #2 day 2

So, yeah. I felt fine yesterday. Then I slept restlessly last night but got up when the alarm went off at 4:43 to see about rowing practice.

I stood in the dining room for a minute after turning up the heat, and concluded that I felt...off.

So I texted our coach to cancel, then had a brief moment of vertigo somewhat reminiscent of the day when I got diagnosed with mono and collapsed on the floor the second I got home.

I made it back into bed just fine and slept until 7 am when it started to get light outside.

Now I just have a low-grade fever.

I'm grateful/relieved that it's Thursday, which means I can work from home today. If I had to I would steel myself to bike in to campus, but it's just as well to not add to the stresses and strains.

Also, today I turn 40 years old. I can't quite make sense of that number, but there you have it! I will celebrate this evening by running a rowing board meeting, just like last year, heh.

At least unlike last year it won't be a FULL day of teaching labs and then a board meeting.

I'm going to give myself a pass if I don't get much work done today.
