Ugh. I woke up yesterday totally nauseous and achy for no obvious reason. I mean like, I hadn’t been out drinking and trashing Republican Party headquarters or anything. Hell, I went to sleep at 11 the night before, easily the earliest I’d gone to sleep in months.

When I get sick, I always go through a (un)healthy amount of denial until it’s obvious I just can’t function. I don’t know if it’s from my family which takes great pride in never being sick or going to doctors or if everyone’s like this. Even though I felt terrible, I tried to convince myself I'd feel better if I just got going. So I got up, fell sideways into my table, pushed myself back up and wobbled into my dresser on the other side of the room. Then I crawled back into bed and called in sick. I realized it was the day of my yearly evaluation as I dialed.

Luckily, I got our department coordinator who was feeling guilty about forgetting to remind everyone about the meeting and she volunteered to call everyone to cancel. As I woke up a little I had a short period of feeling better which is when I posted my short LJ entries. Then I went back and collapsed on my bed for a few more hours.

Where was I going with this? I can't remember. My attention span is very short today I’m afraid...

Ugh! Feel better, please!

I find that most people fall into one of two categories, regarding illness:

A) The type you claim to be, the DENIAL party. The ones who refuse to acknowledge that their bodies are temporarily losing the fight, and who think they can WILL themselves out of it.

B) The type that savor every small symptom, cradling it as a lovely newborn excuse to curl up into fetal position and receive sympathy from others, or from themselves, if necessary. MILKERS, baby.

He's a hybrid, then. (Ooh, did I say that outloud?)

no, you're totally right. I realize that the way I was brought up health-wise is stupid but I can't find a happy medium. I tend to go quickly from one to the other. Of course, working with food means that I have to take more time off than I might at another job too. And if I'm taking time off, I'm going to lie in bed and whine.

Oh -- I'm so sorry you feel like shit -- and I wish I'd checked LJ before (potentially) bothering you by calling you. Yeah, this is the weather for being sick, definitely. Feel better. Whine all you want; I think you should even feel free to solicit for people to respond to said whining.
