Thurs 11 Apr

I guess the Rockman cooking classes are bad luck for our family's health. Last time, Michael woke up puking in the night before the class and was sick for two days. This time, I was a little restless and achy in the night, but when I went to get up to exercise, I got light-headed and hot and had to go lay down again before I could finish my 4 little Dixie cups of water. I passed on exercise and tried again in an hour to just get up and shower, but it was again quickly obvious that I was light-headed and needed to lay down again. I didn't feel too bad when in bed, though the second time I took some ibuprofen which improved the feeling of mild fever. (I didn't stay up long enough to get a thermometer and measure it.) I woke again at 7:15 and called in for the morning to work, then went back to sleep til 8:45. I had to lay down very briefly once while preparing breakfast, but was able to get back up right away when the dizziness passed. I finished preparing and eating breakfast, so now the next step is to challenge the shower. I won't go in to work til afternoon, so I think I'll go to bed and read for an hour or so before taking that on. I may dig out that thermometer as I do think I feel mildly warm again. It's probably about 3 1/2 hours since the ibuprofen, so it may be wearing off. No fever, just felt a little like it. Crawled back in bed and read for awhile, then got up at 11:30 to shower. Light lunch and I'll give an afternoon at work a try. I have two visits scheduled so it should go by quickly. Then Michael and I will give the cooking class a try. Missed the free lunch from the Employee Foundation today, so decided to at least snag a small brownie. One of the two afternoon appointments called and canceled. Food: 9:00 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 light original soy milk, 1/2 grapefruit, 103 g blackberries 12:15 pm Strawberry/banana soy shake 1:00 pm Small brownie
