How am I feeling?

I’ve had lots of e-mails asking if I am feeling better. It is easier to post than do a mass e-mail, so here goes:

I woke up this morning feeling a little weak and dizzy. Still, I am a mom and everyone knows that moms can’t be sick in the mornings because who can possibly get out the door to school and work if not for a mom to fix breakfast, remind them to brush their teeth, lay out clothes for the day, and do last minute ironing on a pair of slacks? Nobody, that’s who. So I did all those things, then closed and locked the door so quickly behind the last person out that the doorknob probably hit them in the derriere, and collapsed back into bed.

You’d think that would be the end of the story, but I decided I simply must go to work. Why did I decide to go to work? Delirium is my only excuse. I actually made it through a few hours of work before I called Brad and asked him to bring me the nectar of the gods –that’s diet coke to the rest of you. Except when he got to my office? I was seeing two of him. I stood up and felt like I might fall over. So I went home.

Thus far, my afternoon and evening has been spent lying crossways across my bed with a pillow held over my head to keep it from floating away. My head, I mean. Not the pillow. Obviously (since I am typing this post), my head is still attached. I know it is because I just just felt around in the general vicinity of my head (floating heads are tricky sometimes) and felt it.

So to summarize:

• dehydrated
• head floating (known side effect of dehydration)
• weak
• dizzy

Other than that, I am great! I fully expect to be 100% functional tomorrow morning. Thanks for the well wishes.
