It's 3AM Tuesday morning, and I think I may have the Flu. Swine Flu or seasonal, I don't have a clue. Here's how it happened.
Saturday was a pretty normal day, Luke was in for the weekend to visit Ben. We'd gone riding for about an hour twenty-five, and Raine went riding with Clare for a while. JT and James came over in the afternoon, and we boys played Catan and watched football. Perfect day, eh? Sunday morning we all scrambled out of bed at the last minute to make it to church where we saw most of the small group. That afternoon Luke and I cooked lunch, and then he hung around for a little while before heading home. I went for a short ride over to Bear Creek park on the cross bike, scouting a cross course and did a few 3min intervals. My intervals weren't in any way impressive, but I was able to get it up to 189 to finish the last one off. So, I felt ok.
Monday morning I woke up early with Ben, about 6, as he'd been fussy with Raine most all night and she needed some sleep. He was almost perfect for me, laying awake on his changing pad for a while before getting a little tired and fussy, so I picked him up and rocked him to sleep, and he slept in my lap for a good while. I put him in his swing so I could get ready, and when I came back he was still sleeping great. I carried him and the swing to the bedroom where Raine was sound asleep, and left them both conked out and headed to work.
Throughout the day at work I started developing a cough, some congestion/drainage, and a slight headache. I didn't feel bad or anything, just showing these symptoms. I thought it was probably allergies and didn't give it much thought. Molly was coming over in the evening to keep Ben while Raine and I went on a date, and when I got home at 6PM I checked my temperature just to be sure. 98.5, so I was good. We went to TX Tradition and shared the large chicken fried steak, which was slightly understated as large. More like massive! We ran by Target on the way home, Raine went in to get me some AirBorne or something but they didn't have any, so she just got me some vitamins.
We went to bed around 11PM and I was coughing a good bit, so I got up and checked my temperature at 12AM, 99.5. Uh-oh, this isn't a good sign. I went in the other room to sleep to stay away from them as it was looking like I was getting sick, but I couldn't sleep well at all. I got back up to check my temperature just before 3AM, and it was 100.8. Well, now this is definitely bad.
So now it's 3:15AM and I've put all this up for record, I guess I'll try to go back to sleep.
I really hope I didn't get Ben or Raine sick, because that would be really bad. I'm also bummed that it's pretty clear I'll be missing YettiCross Wednesday night. :(
