sickening

I woke up at 3 ayem with a terrible stomachache. Earlier in the evening I had imbibed one of those Odwalla protein drinks, which was basically soy milk, oat milk and crushed almonds. I thought maybe it was having a bad effect on me, like it had gone past its sell by date or I have soy intolerance, which I've been wondering about lately. Anyway, I got up after about an hour of this, had a glass of water and then fell back asleep off and on until the alarm went off.

I got up to take a shower and I was feeling somewhat crappy and nauseous, but I thought it was a combo of whatever was causing the stomachache and extreme tiredness. When I got to work I found out that at least one of my co-workers is out sick and another one was out sick last week with a nasty stomach virus. It now occurs to me that I actually feel kind of generally crappy and I am probably in for a semi serious bout of something.

I seriously cannot deal with this right now. I've got a conference in two days that I have to attend upon pain of death (that is a whole other story). I'm registered to run in a 5K in three days and then drive to Cambridge (2+ hours) for a birthday party later that afternoon. So, for now, I'm going to remain in denial about the whole thing. I'm not scheduled to run until tomorrow, and I can do it after work so I can sleep as late as possible. So that is the plan. Go home, eat something, sleep it off. Feel perfectly fine tomorrow. Excellent.

In other words, I really like the subject matter of the class I started last night, but I hate almost everyone in the class. At this point it is almost a guarantee that I will end up in a group project group with someone I'd like to drive over in a car. Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood because I'm sick. Except I'm not sick!

Also, I got an "A" in Strategies for Fiscal Management. The 4.0 rolls on.
