Aura of fire

I'm not in very good condition right now. Basically yesterday was spent immobilized under blankets and sleeping the entire day. My fever soared to 39.8 (almost 40 degrees) and I'm not even sure it hit pass 40 degrees. I was literally emitting an aura of fire. Those people who came near me, specifically my maid and family members could feel the heat just standing 1 metre away. It was a hellish state I was in. Now as I'm typing this, subsiding fevers actually make you feel a lot better, I'm still having fever but now a mild one. (37+). To think that I haven't eaten anything from yesterday till today and I slept the entire time.

Now so this is the long weekend I wished for. A long weekend, sometimes a holiday so long that initial days have a resemblance of an eternity of a holiday. Next Monday is a holiday, which means I missed 3 days of school and have 5 consecutive no school days. Should I say woots, or otherwise. Two days spend in an internal oven, and 3 days potentially at peace. Long weekend, or should I say super long weekend.

For now I am facing the ending points of the fever curve. I had severe running nose like a leaking tap, so much that at one point I was sleeping in a sea of dirty tissues. I have clogged throat, sore throat, giddiness and weak muscles (to the point that I receive random, queer "nerve shocks" when I over exert my muscles), and be surprised or not, yesterday at 40 degrees I couldn't even open the car door.

I probably cannot leave a 1 metre radius of my mattress (except to the toilet) and any strenuous activity is out of question, taboo. Even practicing on the piano should be banned for now (playing etudes are actually very strenuous activities). I can even feel my finger muscles sometimes going weak because of my condition. Some people say straining one's brain when having an extremely high fever may cause brain damage.

So I've been relaxing, and trying to make myself comfortable. At better points (when panadol > fever symptoms), I manage to become sane enough to play games on my DS. Shoot me for being "seemingly childish", but I actually find pokemon mystery dungeon to be of certain entertainment value. Trust me, it's not that easy. I keep dying -.-||

So what to make out of the next few days will have to depend on how well I recover. Fever viruses nowadays seem more persistent. They come, they diminish and they attack you when you have thought you recovered. I fall sick relatively often and I wonder why.

I should be glad I am not immobilized anymore, neither am I bedridden and undergoing forced cuddling under my blanket. The room temperature ceases to make me shiver, and the occasional gust of wind does not impale my senses. For now, wish myself a speedy recovery.

But seriously (and honestly), I have no qualms about falling sick. Since rewards seem more prominent (to me) than it's consequences. Having a valid, legal reason to pon school seems like a good enough incentive.
