Thanks Mari

-- i found the treadmill clothes.

-- i think for street clothes i'll re-wear what i wore yesterday to pdoc's.

i do also need to shower today though. ugh. cold. i don't want to get wet all over just now. besides, it's all so i can get real sweaty tomorrow and have to shower again as soon as i get home.

many factors involved in this virus thing. i've been real stressed. i stopped taking the higher echinacea dose as soon as i started feeling better (mistake in this case...) my cycle started around then too - mom says that is a more vulnerable time for infection... sigh.

i can't tell how "bad" the virus was because all the ibuprofen for the migraines would cover many sx... body aches, fever, sore throat. at a guess, this isn't a cold but a parainfluenza that has been going around... it takes about 10 days and it hasn't been that long yet, but considering everything else going on, and the fact that i've not been totally bedbound, i'm doing pretty well even if i'm unwell. i'm well enough to go do that test tomorrow.

this stress test has me more and more stressed which doesn't help healing. the illness and migraines messed up my sleep, and now trying to "reset" for test is depriving me of it. the past 2 mornings i've tried to "practice" getting up early and have not done well. today i managed to get up at 8.30, but only after falling asleep again, alarm in hand, after it went off at 7 - without even taking my zoloft.... i cannot do that tomorrow - i must get up!... and i don't really want to involve the parents in waking me up!!!
