Dec. 3rd, 2010 06:14 pmI'm very disappointed in my constitution at the moment. I figured since I manage to not get sick while being draped with fever/cold/nasty stomach bug germs every day of my life, I'd be able to go four days without heat and not get sick. This turns out to be a fallacy. I managed to make it through work, somehow, with a low grade fever, sinus headache, sore throat, tender but not quite swollen (I think) lymph nodes and general achiness. My whole head hurts when I try to swallow. yay!
On the plus side, it is Friday, I'm finally home from work, I have heat, hot water and electricity. I plan to make myself some sweet tea, wrap up in blankets and watch a movie.
On the weird side, I'm beginning to think my apartment might actually be haunted. First the knob on the toaster went from being a flat bar to push down, to an oddly nose shaped thing. I swear it was a flat bar from the time I bought it up to this summer. So weird. And today, I came home from work and tried to turn on the new little desk lamp I bought, only it wouldn't turn on. I felt at the outlet to make sure the cats hadn't knocked the plug loose. Nope, still plugged in. Picked up the cord at the base of the lamp, followed it all the way to the end, and it wasn't plugged in. It was the old, broken lamp that was plugged in. Now, I had the desk lamp on last night and I didn't go near the outlet at any time, so this is VERY STRANGE! I'm sure there's a rational explanation, but since I live alone and my landlady is deathly afraid of cats, I know she didn't wander down here just to play lighting tricks on me. I just hope this continues to be a benign haunting and things don't go all scary poltergeist on me.
