Well, I got sick over the weekend. It was not the sort of thing where you become a giant ball of phlegm, but more the sort of thing where your head throbs constantly, and it hurts to move, and your stomach feels like it's going to turn inside-out at any moment.
This particular brand of illness sucks when you get hungry, because then you feel sick from lack of food, so you want to go eat something. This is bad because, once you *do* eat something, your stomach actually feels *worse* than it did when you were hungry. I didn't throw up, but it sure FELT like I was going to. ;p Digestion is a shaky business, y'all.
I slogged through a wushu demo at 8-friggin'-am on Sunday, thinking that I'd be okay, but I kind of wasn't. I felt utterly winded after the first section of each of my forms, when I usually make it through the third section of four with no problem. I'm surprised my legs didn't give out entirely. Morning demos are the worst. :p It was kind of an odd situation, too, because it was for Duck Preview, so our demo was followed by... Frohnmayer giving a speech about why these high school kids should go to college at UO. ;p Maybe Frohny just wanted us to help wake up the crowd?
Speaking of wushu, I got this year's team jacket on Friday, and I actually *like* the way it looks, for once. We've been issued some pretty fugly and/or unflattering-on-me jackets in years past, so I never wore them outside of wushu demos or competitions, but I actually wore the new one to work today. :)
Anyway, the weekend was pretty uneventful, what with being sick and all. Lots of WoW (10-man Scholo and 5-man UD Strat!), some knitting, and lots of napping. Still feel pretty barfy, but less so. I missed out on some opportunities for fun, so I hope to make up for it this coming weekend.
( How weird am I? )
