delusional daydreams

Today, I stayed home from work.


I had been feeling ill since Sunday afternoon. I was at my parent's house to spend some quality family time with them. It was about 6:00 pm est when I first started to feel slightly off.

We went out to dinner at Go Roma. Delicious food. I got a splendid salad. After which we went to go see the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.


Having read the Chronicles of Narnia several times through out the history of my life I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Although, at times it did depart from the original book, in my eyes, it was necessary adaptation for the movie. Anyways, the entire time I felt ill during the movie. I couldn't even eat a piece of my free small popcorn. For those of you who know me, know I love me some popcorn.


The rest of the evening consisted of me thrashing about in my bed trying to get a moments respite. I ended up getting a poor nights rest. When I finally awoke I managed to get ready for work, but that's when my stomach began to worsen. I finally came to the conclusion that I may have some sort of bug. I had a fever and could not eat or drink anything.


Whenever you are home sick, you usually take the opportunity to catch up on some TV watching. So today, between my tossing and turning of delusional naps I was able to catch up on LOST, watch the history channel, and Ghostbusters 2.
I also enjoyed several tripy dreams that combined chronicles of Narnia, lost, and the ghostbusters, mixing in several of my own experiences. I had several of those dreams that feel like you are awake, only to then actually wake up in a cold feverish sweat.
All my sleeping and resting hopefully paid off. I am feeling 75% better. I was able to have a bowl of soup for supper and several glasses of water.
That being said, it is late and I need more sleep.
