just your average, abnormal girl

I left work early on Saturday because my throat was killing me. That was the start of my cold.

I felt ok before work yesterday, so I went to work. I ended up leaving early, after having been there only two hours, as I felt like absolute shit, and the Advil Cold & Sinus I had taken were not helping. Conveniently this was when Josh's shift was over, so I just left my car there and carpooled with him to go home.

When we went to the grocery store to get things for dinner, we also bought a digital thermometer since all we have is a glass one, and when I took my temperature on Saturday, I wasn't even getting to 98 degrees (which is normal for me). I wanted to make sure it was accurate.

My temperature on the digital? 96.5, both via oral and armpit. I found that extremely odd, since I felt hot to the touch (my forehead). But even if I were to use the glass thermometer, it probably would not have registered above 98 anyway.

Today I took my temperature with the digital, and at least today I'm not below my normal average: 97.7.

I still feel kind of blah, and while I felt OK when I woke up at 6:15 this morning, I know it'll just get worse as the day goes on (just like yesterday), so I opted to call in sick today. I'd rather be at home and doped up on cold meds than at work, as cold meds tend to make me really loopy, even at half-doses. Except that Advil Cold & Sinus. I hardly felt its effects at all, even at double dose (two capsules).

Now, excuse me while I go locate the DayQuil tablets.. since the NyQuil worked fairly well last night (I woke up and was able to actually breathe like a normal person this morning), I figure the DayQuil may work, too.
