I’m not sure what it was, but I managed to catch a strange bug this week. I woke up Monday very achy and with a slight sore throat.\u00a0Recalling the colds (yes, plural) Randy had for the entire month of November, I suspected that’s what I was catching. I took the day off, got plenty of rest, and drank plenty of fluids.<\/p>\n
Regrettably, I decided to return to work Tuesday morning only to realize that I felt even worse than the day before. I was burning up, my entire body ached (even the water hitting my body in the shower that morning actualy hurt), and my head was throbbing.<\/p>\n
I ended up taking another sick day on Wednesday and the pain started going away. Oddly, the sore throat never morphed into a head cold. I never got\u00a0congested, my nose never ran, and I haven’t coughed once. Obviously, this isn’t a cold.<\/p>\n
But I don’t think it’s the flu, either, since I had a flu shot, and never felt nauseous. I was, however, peeing nonstop. Not that I’m self-diagnosing, but could this have been H1N1?<\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s Thursday and I’m back at work. Oh, and I just discovered that the townhouse unit\u00a0two doors down from us just went on the market. It’s identical in size, shape, layout, and age and was listed at $45,000 more than we paid. FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND! I’m sure they won’t get asking price, but it’s at least making me think that we got our place for a steal.<\/p>\n
