Fever

Woke up this morning with a 99-degree temperature. After my bath, temperature became 100 degrees.

Drove to PISA for morning training. Felt like throwing up once I got there. Ended training early and went to the doctor. Temperature was 100.5 degrees at clinic. But no sore throat, no coughing, no flu-like symptoms. Doctor told me to take my temperature every few hours and take a few days off.

Doctor asks if I've been outstation lately. I tell him I was in Miri, but that was like, one month ago. Then he tells me, in a matter-of-fact tone, "the newspapers just reported that someone died from H1N1 in Miri recently."

Very comforting.

Drove home. Can't stop thinking how comfortable my bed is going to be after taking the medicine.

Parked my car outside my gate, let the dogs into the house, opened gate, went in, took medicine, changed and went to lie down. Ahhh ... that felt so good. Nice soft pillow, ceiling fan humming quietly, window blinds closed, room darkened ...

But what's that car sound outside my house?

OH CRAP!

I left my car outside with its engine running and doors unlocked. What's more, my front gate was wide open!

So quickly went out, drove car into porch, closed gate, let dogs out, locked door, and went back to bed. Ahhh ... now that's better.

Fortunately, temperature had gone back down to 99 degrees at lunch time. But I decided to cancel the evening training session just in case.
