totchipandaWeekend was just a wash ahahaha. Made it across the city in rush hour traffic (which was not so rush hour, I'm sure a lot of people skipped early), was even earlier than the time suggested, sat in the parking lot waiting to hear from my dad or sibling that they had arrived, sibling finally messages me to say that dad had accepted some overtime, dad finally messages me at 545 to say that he was stuck at work, ok then let's reschedule. I was mostly annoyed that he didn't say anything BEFORE I drove all the way across the city. Fine, I went to Walmart and got some chicken nuggies and easter candy before heading home.
Friday was lovely, coffee and stitching, watching crime documentaries. Took a long nap in the afternoon. But then... dun dun dun, started feeling unwell. Body aches, absolutely freezing etc. After an hour or so of that, I was suddenly ROASTING. Took my temp and my fever topped out at 101 F before dropping back to normal not long after. I had a headache all weekend and spent a lot of it sleeping. I was averaging 5 hours of awake time with 3-4 hour naps in between. Cancelled on Easter dinner because I couldn't bear the thought of stepping outside into sunshine and being upright and sociable for that amount of time. (Ended up napping through the majority of that time anyway.)
Yesterday it was messing with my eyes and it was hard to look at screens, even the glow from the TV to listen to a show was too hard. WTF. Finally concluded it was a migraine and I was so glad I had the blackout curtains up because the sun shining in around them on Saturday was a heckin' lot, I can't imagine how bright it would have been without them.
Nothing got done. I put a few threads into the cross stitch on Friday. Knitted a few rows on socks on Saturday and Sunday. Total waste of three glorious days off but at least I don't have to listen to my boss whining about me taking time off sick.
