 despite it all, i did call my dad today

today i was supposed to feed moses for the last time (mary takes over tomorrow) and then visit with shayne & dave in the afternoon. neither of these things were accomplished, though, because some weird things are going on with my body and i've felt terrible all day long. (moses did get fed... by ray.)

the specific ailment is horrifying and disgusting, so i won't go into it. i will say, though, that it's hard for me to move around. ray's been bringing me water and toast just so i won't have to get out of bed. i also took a 4 hour nap this afternoon which NEVER happens. as a general rule i hate naps... they totally mess with the schedule of the day (i mean, look at me now... it's 2am and i'm not tired at all) and i end up feeling worse because of them.

however, today's nap was just right. i actually felt a little better at the end of it. but the good vibes got chucked out the window when i watched "life as a house" and cried my girly eyes out. the headache came back and i started feeling, um, bad again.

i do not hold this against kevin kline personally.

i feel certain i won't go to work tomorrow. not only because i'm sure i won't get to bed until the time i'm actually supposed to be there, but also because i'm sure my range of motion will not have improved by then.

the tricky thing is that i was supposed to carpool with annie in the morning. she's got an appointment to drop off her truck at honda specialists and i was going to drive us to work. but since i've decided not to go to work, i've instead planned out an elaborate scheme... ray will take my car and meet her at the shop. annie will then drive ray --in my car-- to his office, drop him off, then drive my car to work. repeat in reverse at the end of the day.

what throws this plan into jeopardy is that annie doesn't know about it yet. i emailed her earlier this evening, but didn't hear back. i suppose i should have called. but then she would have asked about my specific ailment and i'd be too embarrassed to tell her.

so, we'll see how this goes in the morning. hopefully everyone will get to where they need to be.

in an ideal world, i'd try to see a doctor tomorrow. but as i'll be carless, this won't happen. i guess i'll just try to schedule an appointment for tuesday instead.
