Damme!

I was scheduled to meet some miscellaneous digital reprobates at the behest of Mr. Dent this evening.

But this morning when I woke up I had nausea, bad enough that I went home from work and crawled into bed. Naturally, I said to my self, “Self, this is a perfect time to try a trial install of OS Commerce.” So, one hand tapping the keys of the powerbook, one eye closed in misery, I did so, and the setup appears to have gone off without a hitch.

Then I passed out. I was unsure if I was feverish for much of the day, but I certainly felt quite hot. Even now, at 9 pm, I’m not hungry at all. I am preparing to eat some ramen, in an experimental fashion.

I did not vomit or experience diarrhea at all, so my initial thesis, that I had eaten some bad food, is unlikely. When Viv took my temperature, it was 99, not really enough of an elevation to count as a fever for me (I run hot anyway).

So, I regret my illness and wish it to be gone in the morning. Currently, I have a massive headache and muscle aches, no runny nose or sneezing or coughing, and recurrent, mysterious long, slow pains deep in my lungs. I really don’t believe I’m at risk, but some of these symptoms are reminiscent of a heart attack. I don’t have a center-chest pain at all, or any odd symptoms in my arms, so I think this is pretty unlikely.

Whatever it is, it’s making me very uncomfortable.
