I’m sick. Really sick. I’ve been sick since late Friday, in fact. It’s so bad that I can’t look at a monitor for more than a few minutes before it becomes uncomfortable, without accessibility features in a dark room that is… and that’s just my vision.

I can’t hear too well, talk all that good, smell at all, and can barely breathe. I have massive sinus ickiness including headaches and irritation. My body is sore all over, and I am dizzy when I’m standing up (and walking).

Thankfully, I think I’m getting better. The worst seemed to be Saturday and Sunday night. Throughout parts of the days, I seem to make partial recoveries but all of them just lapse into more malaise.

It’s not fun.

I have discovered that I can stare at a screen for a little longer with it cranked down to the dimmest notch with low-contrast themes on. This buys me a bit more time in between intervals, where I walk away from the computer and just sit for a while. It’s a bit boring in my apartment.

As I said earlier, though, I’m pretty sure I’m getting better. Hopefully I will be good enough to get to work sometime tomoorw, but I’m even unsure of that. This is the sickest I’ve been in a long while. I probably would have posted something earlier this weekend if I could have. d^:

Let’s hope I make a full recovery soon. Jonathan has a bunch of cool things he wants me to help out on when I can make it back to the office. (Mmm… Metathemes…) Also, I’m sure Bret (of Red Hat Network fame) probably wants me to do more cool stuff too. (:

Sidenote: Tomorrow’s voting day. I hope I can make it. Just looked at the Absentee Ballot voting site for North Carolina… in the footnotes of another page, it reads: “This request must be received in your local County Board of Elections office by 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to the election. “ Drat. I didn’t know I’d be this sick a week ago… ):
