Much more functional, but I get tired easily. Made it through work, so that's a big step. Still very stuffy, but I think I'm getting better...

I think I'll have K work on my bike today. Maybe, just maybe, I'll try to ride it sometime. I should if we're going to do a sprint in 2 weeks.

Marginally better. Still very congested, but the fever is gone & I have more energy. Still draining thick green.

Watched K race the Armed Forces day triathlon on base. Surprising turnout of several hundred, but no one that good. One Team USA guy, but he wasn't that impressive. K got 1st in his AG.

Watching that took everything out of me, so I slept for 3 hours. Being sick sucks.

May 18

Only lasted 45min at work. Got very dizzy, couldn't remember my computer passwords. Boss sent me home, now at 8am, I'm back in bed. Guess I'll be spending the weekend trying to get better. Feeling a little more functional today. Have a birthday dinner tonight at my favorite joint (Toms, down the street) and because my mother brainwashed me, if I don't go to school, I can't go play. So, I'm going to work. I hope I last all day. Guess I'll spend the day looking & dreaming about races in my altered mental state. ANYTHING sounds fun right now, anything but laying in bed or the couch. I might come to regret some decisions. :)


Spent the first half of yesterday in a big haze, periods of not remembering things, like K telling me he was leaving for part of the day (to get away from my nasty, sick self). Started to feel more like a normal person in the early evening...

So, I spent my semi-functional evening time looking at races. And feeling like I have unfinished business with some tri's. Glad I didn't sell my bike last month like I was *this* close to doing. Being around all my BT friends last week sparked my fire...I found some sprints and oly's I can do this fall, lets hope I can learn to like the bike. I haven't been ON my bike since IMTX, 1 year ago.

SICK. 

Left work early yesterday with a fever. Took a nap. Laid on couch until 8:30p, then back to bed. Slept until 5am. Called in sick to work today, I think the fever is coming & going as it pleases. 
This is how my day has gone:

back to sleep from 530-830
couch from 830-945
back to sleep 10-1145
Now, back on the couch at noon
3-4p bed.
(surprised I stayed up for 3 hours straight! Progress!!)
4- 9 couch  

I shall keep you updated on my moving from the couch to the bed. Exciting, I know.

Still sick. Kind of bummed since there's a sprint tri on base this weekend. Today is the last day to sign up and I was giving myself until today to see how I feel. I don't imagine I'll miraculously wake up tomorrow or Friday feeling perfect, and I do NOT do races sick. I made that mistake once. 
Sad, sad, duckface.
