A different shade of ill
Oct. 18th, 2006 09:50 amThere's a cold going around, and I was feeling pretty good about not having picked it up from one of the various people I know who've had it.
Until three o'clock this morning, that is, when I was wandering to the toilet and hit my bedroom door-frame.
Admittedly, I'm not at my most ept when I've just woken at 3am, but while brushing against the door clumsily on my past is fairly normal, smacking into it isn't.
Especially when I did the same with the bathroom door.
And then turned around, got a fairly horrific bout of dizziness from the spin, and realised that my inner ear is refusing to play ball.
On the one hand, this is fairly amusing, in a "watching myself from outside" kinda way.
On the other, I have so much work to do right now it's not true.
I'm _hoping_ that this is a short-term thing my body is in mid-fight with, and that I feel sufficiently better by midday to make it into work.
In the mean time, moving very slowly indeed and sitting/lying still seems to work. If I could teleport into the office I'd probably be fine.
