Perpetual Ruminations

Saturday

Just a quick entry again tonight, but hopefully I can start getting more time to write these out. For now, however, this will have to suffice. It's not that I was real busy today, or had a lot going on. In fact, I got out of work a couple hours earlier than normal, so I had more time.

I got off from work, came home and ate a nice lunch, then sent a fax off for work. After, I retired for a nap, and woke up about the time Rhonda got done work. Yes, that's right, I slept all afternoon. I have been sleeping very poorly, and not getting much time for sleep on top of it. This meant I was way behind on sleep, and then what little I have been getting wasn't much for quality, either.

Add to that, long hours working, and a lot of stress, and it's easy to see why I slept away the entire afternoon. Oh, and lets not forget about my ailment. I don't know what to call it, but no matter what it is, I'm sick. I have infected sinuses, my throat is sore and restricted, I have a bad cough, and I'm very short on breath. I've been running a fever on and off, and I just don't have any energy.

I was kind of thinking it was a cold, but I don't think so now. It's been hanging on for way to long. I was sick right before my daughter and her family came out to visit, and that was at the end of August. I did get better, but I never fully recovered. It kind of went into remission, but was never fully gone, and then it flared again in September. After about two weeks, it faded out some, but again it did not clear up completely. Now, a month later, it's flaring again, only this time it's surpassed two weeks and still going strong.

There are a number of things it could be, and I'm not getting to worked up over it, yet. I'm still going to presume it's a virus or something, and I just need a little assistance from some medicine to finish getting over it. I will see my health care provider on Wednesday and hope to find out then.
