sick

I woke up this morning feeling ok. Tired, but generally ok. Went to work, and felt fine until about two hours into the day, when my stomach and back started hurting and my mind stopped working. I stuck around another hour or so and then went home and slept most of the afternoon.

The feeling in my stomach (actually, lower abdomen) was odd, in that it was the same as I felt a month ago when I had the stomach flu, and it isn't a feeling I usually get for plain ordinary gastrointenstinal distress. This leads me to believe that I've caught the thing I had last month again.

If I'm right, I'll be puking my guts out and feeling like it would be preferable to die than to live through another minute of this within 24 hours. I really hope I'm not right.

Fortunatly, the sleep seems to have helped. My stomach still hurts, but not as badly, and my back doesn't anymore. I'm also feeling much more mentally alive. So perhaps that was as bad as it's going to get.

I really hope this is the case - partly because I really don't want to go through the sickness again, and partly because, if I do, I'll have to figure out how to get to a doctor and get a note excusing me from my class. I've put too much effort into it at this point to have the teacher go anal about attendance and drop me.

What a way to start a journal, eh?
