March 26, 2008 - I left off yesterday feeling good for helping someone out, and started today feeling bad from a head cold. It quickly progressed into an awful feeling, and by 3 PM I was ready to leave work to go home and sleep. I got home around 3:30 and let the dogs out with their food, which they were excited about getting so early, and I hopped into bed. I tossed and turned, going in and out for a while, until Ellie got home. She made me some dinner and then I went back to sleep. I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom since I was drinking a ton of water today. I couldn't believe how fast my body was going into a state of sickness. Usually it creeps up on me, and this one was blowing me over like a freight train.
