Well, last night kind of sucked. I seem to have picked up the flu. In the course of yesterday, a sore throat turned to a cough to a headache to a fever. So I went to bed at 10 pm, because I was exhausted.

You know what sucks?

Lying in bed, exhausted, for five hours trying to fall asleep. It's one thing to have insomnia when you aren't tired, but quite another to have it when you are. :( My fever was doing one of those vicious cycle things, where if I had my duvet on, it felt good but then I'd get too hot and start coughing so I'd take it off and then start shivering. Ugh. I finally got up at two am and got a lighter blanket, took more aspirin and tried to rehydrate myself. I don't know what my temperature was, but my skin hurt. So that can't be good.

This morning, I woke up early. My fever broke a little, but it's still 99.5. So as I was lying there in bed, knowing I didn't have to be up for a couple of hours, I fell back asleep and started having icky dreams, like stressful stuff. I was working (hi subconscious feeling guilty about sleeping in) on-site, but instead of being at a hotel, I was at the client's home. And I was sick, so I was doing the training in my pajamas. Ugh.
