Sleep? No, no more sleep.

I have spent the last 4 days in bed. I know...sounds like a fun time...relaxing, sleeping, tv. No. I had the stomach flu complete with fever for 4 days.

It all started on towards the end of my drive home from a lovely weekend in VA on sunday night. Got home late, about midnight. Wound up staying at my parents because I had to pick up my mother at about 6:45am to go to Lenape to go see the Cheneys. Started to get a little dizzy when i got to their house, just thought I was tired.

It all really hit me Monday morning while I was between secret service checkpoints at Lenape. I'm standing there in line with my mother (she's the reason I was there, I'm not a big fan of rallies, but how many times do you get to meet the vice president? For me, this would be #3.) and we make it into the main gym. Someone checks and makes sure that I am the person the FBI ran a security check on over the weekend (i was) and then we go and stand outside on the sidewalk that goes into the other gym. Yeah, its 7:20am. Its October. Its NJ. FREAKING COLD PEOPLE!!! I'm in a suit. again.

As we're standing there, looking at the secret service people on the roof I suddenly feel like I am going to pass out. I turned bright white (i know, not much of a change from normal) and thought I was going to die. About 25 mins later, I can finally get into the other gym, get patted down, pass through the metal detector and run to the bathroom, where i promptly throw up (yes, you wanted the fun details). I hate the stomach flu.

Finally back out to the gym. Hey look...its Jason Hicks. Yes...looking in other direction...

Hey there goes me about to pass out. YAY mommie catches me. Time to go sit down on the floor of a HS gym, in a suit. Best idea ever. Stand up again. Go back to the mother and people from work, woooo passing out again. Back to the floor.

Rally finally ends. Go home, go to sleep. Don't leave apartment again (except to go to the doctor, so he can tell me that not only do I not have strep but I have some sort of virus thing and I should be better by saturday) until, FRIDAY!

I figure I have slept about 60 hours in the past 4 days. I think I slept 60 hours last month, total. I didn't think it was possible for me to sleep that much and yet, I am still totally exhausted.

Oh and daytime TV sucks.
