Now I'm sick too. At least I think I am. I certainly feel like I've been run over, perhaps only by a small bicycle, but run over nonetheless. No fever, but I have to be extremely sick to actually have even a low grade fever.

(It's just one of those weird things about me. My body does not produce a noticeably elevated temperature when I am sick. Other than the iatrogenic fever in the hospital right before Benjamin was born, I cannot actually recall the last time I had anything that might be considered a fever. Apparently Benjamin did not inherit this. Or else he is extremely ill, but I don't think so. While he is clearly not feeling well, I don't think it is anything too major.)

I'm the same way. I almost never get a fever even when sick. It was a real problem in high school, where they wouldn't let you go home sick unless you were either feverish or vomiting (or both) and I could be extremely ill but not fit either of those criteria. Annoying.

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh ugh. Feel better. Do you need us to host OPN?

I very clearly remember the day it took me about half an hour to drag myself up a partial flight of about four steps in my high school.

Of course, I was so stupidly stoic at that point in my life that it never occurred to me that I ought go home, mostly I remember being surprised and trying to figure out *how* I was going to get home at the end of school.

Fortunately my mom had a pretty good sense of my excessive stoicism, so I wasn't likely to get the slightest bit of arguement at home if I said I was too sick to go to school. (Actually what might happen was that I would argue I was fine and she would disagree, but, well, she has that stoicism too so she understood.)

I have sense mellowed out considerably, but I still had a tendency to figure that if I *could* stand up I was clearly well enough to go to work.

Quite possibly. Thank you. :-)

(Maybe best to get in touch with Chip, just in case he has already arranged with someone else, but I don't think that he has.)
