I lied. Apparently my lymph nodes are swollen. And the longer the day went, the more I felt terrible.

ack. rest and hydrate and kill it with orange juice

No orange juice, but I'm going out on Friday to get an x-ray for my thumb (potential arthritis). If I'm still feeling sick, I'm going to make an unscheduled stop at urgent care.

sounds like a good plan, give it a day in case it's just a fast-moving cold
