Unseasonal Chills

Maybe it's because I stopped taking my vitamins or have been touching my face too much, or maybe it's just one of those things. I have a low-grade fever and have felt crappy all day.

My legs ache, too, but I'm not sure if that's a flu ache or something caused by not stretching them on the bike today.

I knew something was up last night. Because my dog often shares my bed and my mattress is a couple years past its "freshness" date, it's pretty common for me to wake up every two hours or so. I kinda like that, since then I can play with having waking dreams. If I close my eyes, I get dreamlike visions and imgages, but I'm not sleeping.

Also, it gives me a chance to go pee.

So, I kept waking up, but never felt good about it. Then, I spent the day inside wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. I haven't had anything like that on since ... April? The good news is I was able to take a nice nap, but I'm pissed I couldn't ride to the market.

What I need, you know, is to buy a chicken and some leeks. If I put a chicken in a big pot and cook it and strip the flesh from the bones, I can add leeks. I have no idea if leeks actually do or add anything (they've a delicate flavor), but my recipe calls for them. Also celery, carrots, and barley.

About half the time I add noodles, when I remember. Then, the next step is to eat it and feel better. I haven't been getting much in the way of heavy metals lately, so I guess some Zinc would help.

This is nothing to be concerned about, but it's something to write about.

PS - Inspired by Voyaging's post today I added in some comment spam-killing software. I tried it, and it worked for me, but most things do when you're the administrator!
