Hehe, well that was a popular entry.
So last night sucked pretty bad. Woke up three times, about once every 2 hours. The first two times, I felt really hot, especially the first time, when it felt like my
legs, of all places was burning up. But after that, my temperature felt fine. Had another odd dream state where my mind was under the impression that I had to accomplish stuff, and this time it was about having to achieve all the goals in several adventure games simultaneously. I think these dreams may be linked to some subconscious metaphor of fighting my illness consciously. Oh, and our dorm actually ran out of drinking water, so I had to buy myself a $1.25 bottle from the vending machine last night.
So because of that, I bought myself a thermometer (and much cheaper water). Although I felt ok by the time I bought it, it still registered my temperature at up to 100.7 fahrenheit. After discussing it with Xia, decided to also not go to work today. My boss probably didn't like that because I cancelled 30 minutes before work, so it's not like he could find a replacement. But it was probably a good idea, since today was cold (and actually rained later), so walking that mile uphill probably wouldn't have been good, especially because I don't think I would've brought my umbrella, so I would have been soaked coming back.
In the middle of the afternoon, my temperature dropped to about 99.x, but it's back up to around 100.x now. I'll see tonight if my temperature really does soar at night or if it's just my imagination.
My roommate's also been providing me with vitamins, so hopefully that's helping.
I still don't really have an appetite, and my sense of smell is also weird. It's like I can't detect certain smells, which accentuates the ones that I can detect, which makes many things just smell disgusting, which is probably part of the reason the food feel less appealing. Although I did have this craving for some hot soup, and while searching for nearby restaurants with soup, I found that there's a Boudin Bakery nearby. They serve clam chowder in sourdough bowls and they have a branch at the Fisherman's Wharf, which is the first and only time I had this, and I remember it was with my parents. I wonder if it was Boudin Bakery that time or some other shop. Anyway, went over, and I find it's closed on Sundays. Phooey. Eh well, bought a couple microwaveable clam chowder soups from Safeway and heated up the Campbell one for dinner. It was actually pretty nice (especially given the derisive remarks I've seen people make about Campbell stuff), and was probably the most appetizing thing I had all day.
So I actually managed to finish quite a bit of work this weekend, which is nice.
