H1N1

Over the weekend I had some great times hanging out with friends and it was so nice to not have to think about working on Monday.  I also continued brainstorming how to set up the interior of my van.  Monday I perused Home Depot, Lowes, and IKEA to act on some ideas and gain some more ideas.  My body felt fatigued during the day and I could tell I needed to get some rest.  By 6pm I was in bed with a terrible fever!  The fever was extremely bad over night, hung with me through Tuesday and tapered down into Wednesday - I stayed in bed almost 40 hours straight!  The suspicion is that I got the highly contagious H1N1 virus from one of my friends over the weekend.  They had it confirmed, so I have no reason to think it's anything else.  I guess this is no surprise.  In fact, I just read a Fox News report which said, "this is the week, through Oct. 24, during which the greatest number of people would be infected." based on a recently published study.  To be honest, this is perfect timing - I'm done with work and I'm not on the road yet. :)  The rest is well-needed anyway. So I'm resting and staying away from people.  Assuming I take the remainder of this week to recover and become non-contagious, I will have to cram four weeks of visits and goodbyes into three weeks.  Bear with me. : )
