Soooo...it got worse. Trust me, I didn't sleep well last night; I kept waking up/stirring/hurting. Eventually got up and added a tylenol, and slept for a whole hour straight. Then the alarm went off.

Even with the tylenol, I'm still too warm or too cold, my throat hurts like blazes, my neck is stiff, my head is stuffed up, and of course, I'm tired. Oh, and the stuffed-up nose or something is making my sense of balance mildly questionable. The lovely idea of teaching a full-day class like this is not improving my day, so I figured, with this throat, I'd better try talking.

In a nice, subdued tone of voice, I can manage anywhere from one to four sentences before I start gagging on the feel of speech in my throat. And I'm sure that addressing a group of 20 in a nice subdued tone of voice will work well, now, won't it? I can speak decently in a whisper, though.

Called my boss. He's going to see if he can substitute other people in, but, he won't know until about 8:15 in all likelihood. He may call me then and say he needs me over there.

Ugh. All I want to do is go back to bed. Instead, I'll be getting ready, just in case I have to go teach a class of 20 people while feeling like this. Watch me be just thrilled, here....

Edit: the system architect is taking my class. I get to go back to bed. Whew.

:-(

*hugs* Good luck on getting out of it. I know the feeling and I'd hate to have to teach...

Oh, gosh, I hope you feel better fast!

I seem to have something, too, as I slept from 11pm to TWO OCLOCK in the freaking afternoon, but nothing like you!

Hmmm. I wonder if we're related. :-) My head is well stuffed. Nothing at all like your state, but yucky nonetheless.

I woke up a couple of times last night wondering what that noise was; thought the little fan over the wood stove was getting noisy. But everytime I got up I couldn't find the noise. It finally penetrated that the noise was my pulse making swishing noises in my plugged up ears.
