I can't tell whether I'm sick today
Apr. 12th, 2011 06:34 pmI went to bed immensely exhausted. I got eight hours of sleep and felt like I needed a bunch more.
I showered and attended an online meeting from home. I sounded cogent because I barely had to speak. I could feel the sinus cavities pressing against my cheek bones. I answered some emails and went back to bed for another 3.5 hours.
Now I'm cogent to type and answer things. I may pass out again after 8, but I'll come around as well. I think I'm still fighting something: the sinus pressure is gone from the cheeks but moved to the forehead. If I'm not careful, I'll be sick. Thus I'm tempted to submit to each whim I have to sleep.
Yesterday I woke up with a pain just above my knee cap. If I didn't move the leg, I didn't feel it. It didn't hurt to move it, but it hurt to begin moving it. Thus I could walk with a stab of pain and then nothing until the next step on the right leg. However sitting around was strangely more painful because of all the minutes shuffles I make while working at my chair. Today that pain is completely gone and I could not feel any luckier about that.
Sleep is a powerful drug. I hate how we regulate it in America.
