Fever

A little fluctuation of the body temperature, by one and a half degrees higher, can immobilise one completely. So read the mantra on Homeostasis which I am perfectly aware of.

Am experiencing it firsthand again after a long while.

Had been holding back a bug since the climb from Lombok and happily dived back into work; school, friend's wedding and volunteer stuff, without listening to the little aches and protests in my body. And so now I am paying for it. Since Sunday, had been drifting in and out of conciousness, nerves were raw, every sound too loud, every contact too painful, every breeze too cold. You just huddle in your blanket but you can't sleep because so many things were wandering through your hyperactive heated brain.

Just hope I am well enough to go back tomorrow.
