i’m calling it better.  look, i’m posting!  fever is down almost gone.  high point was 101 around noon yesterday (or just when i would have been going to the lawyers’, had i been going to the lawyers’), low point was 97.2, which is much nearer to my normal, this morning.  i awoke this morning saying i was going to the yarn studio, mostly because it was my one shot to see another human for another 48 hours, but of course that was just silly.  but i did manage to stay up all day, anyway, and paid a bill, and went to get some provisions (saltines, pudding, bananas, gatorade, applesauce, which took me two hours instead of one because I Wasn’t Thinking.  but now my main priority is to get to the point where i can go to bed tomorrow night confident that i can teach monday, the day i’ve set aside to begin the standardized testing we’re to undertake (the “training” for which i, myself, was undergoing when this purging presented *it*self: oops, sorry....) purging stopped or nearly, after 12 hours, by the way, just for future information. i owe that to not having much in my stomach in the first place, i’m sure and, except for the fever part, i really was all ready for my colonoscopy, mr. demille, and it was just too bad i hadn’t thought to schedule one instead of that abandoned accident deposition.  but at least i wasn’t scheduled to go to school yesterday, thank heaven.  washing everything in the house at present.  and still still gurgling some.
