I stayed home yesterday because I didn't feel up to par, and was even willing to chalk it up to exhaustion (because, you know, driving is really hard work). But I got out of bed this morning and went to work because I felt more or less OK.
I guess I couldn't have really known, but boy was that stupid. I was there less than two hours before the body started giving me signals that something was not right. So I drove back home. The weather was beautiful, but I barely noticed it.
By 2, I was in the full blown shivers with two blankets on top of me. Ugh. Your brain does weird shit to you like that. I thought about throwing in a DVD or something but instead just kept my eyes closed, which was probably a bad idea. I had the weirdest semi-awake dreams about all kinds on nasty things I don't remember.
At 4:30, Diana called me, and she's bringing supplies and playing the role of dutiful girlfriend. I don't know why I feel so bad about that other than the fact that I know I'm a big baby when I'm sick.
I think I'm about done with the shivering and my brain is semi-functional. I suppose the sweats are next.
I know I blog about it every time, but I don't get sick that often. The last time was in April, and it was barely 24 hours (while I was in Orlando). Then before that was in October last year while I was in Columbus to see Blue Man Group. I think prior to that was the Venetian funk in March. I'm thankful it isn't that frequent.
Though one must wonder... why do I get sick before during or after travel opportunities?
And yeah, I paid $100 more for a 4 gig iPhone than the current price of the 8 gigs. Alex paid $200 more for his 8 gig, so he got used harder. At least the price and specs of my Mac Pro haven't changed in the year that I've had it.
"Though one must wonder... why do I get sick before during or after travel opportunities?"
Because most people are more susceptible to germs and illness when they travel. One usually spends time around more people... and let's face it, people are germy. And one's body's defenses are often compromised by being thrown off the normal routine...Often times one sleeps less than usual, or doesn't sleep as well. Normal eating habits get thrown to the wind. etc etc.
That's one of the reasons Airborne was invented. I double down when I travel ever since I got sick on a cruise I went on. (Cruises are floating germ vessels.)
Hope you feel better soon.

The catch though, is that you had to think it was worth it at that price point when you bought it, or else you wouldn't have. So really, you aren't losing "your value" of the phone. It's just a shame others will be getting more for their buck than you did. It's still an awesome product, and now the 4GB is more of a rarity. Wait for the iCollectors to want a 4GB one for the collection. (Yes, there are crazies out there like that.)
Such is the cost of getting the best before the rest of us.
