Dang, I must have jinxed it

Got a plan for some exercise. Went out once. Then the rain started -- I'm truly not sure how rain-resistant this wheelchair is, so I didn't go out yesterday -- and now I'm sick! Grr! If it were just the tickle in the back of my throat I'd soldier on through, but I've got a fever, which means No Infecting The Coworkers Please. Plus fevers make me stupid. So I'm heading home this afternoon. No exercise, no getting together with coworkers this afternoon to nail down details on a chunk of work I'm supposed to do.

Bummer.

I'm almost never sick more than once within a couple of years. I wonder what I'm doing differently now. Nutrition perhaps? I bet it's at least partially the inactivity. How can I possibly be robust when I never frickin' MOVE?

I am GONNA get more exercise. I swear. Today feels like "one step forward, two steps back" but I know I'm going to kick this bug, whatever it is, and after that I can DO STUFF. Enough couch potato life.

Important Safety Tip: if fever is already causing slight headache and lightheadedness, taking Indocin is one heck of a trip. Wheee! People pay good money to amusement parks to get these sensations.

Long as it's not my FEET on the floor! ;-)

I'd prefer not to have to be in a class, so I could exercise when I wanted to -- but if I ever get rid of all this insane physical therapy, there might be room in the schedule for a class.
