Afternoon, all.
TL;DR - I be sick.
Longer version - Felt a little tickle in my throat Thursday, but not much. By 7pm I had a fever that was not dangerous but not fun, either. Spent the entire night curled up in a ball under every fleece in the house trying to “get warm.” TMI warning: Said fever was accompanied by absolutely explosive flatulence. I mean Tchaikovsky could have used me to score the Overture. T. J. Lambert would have been impressed. The only thing I had to eat that day was a couple of Wienerschnitzel Texas dogs, which have never produced such a reaction before. Whatever it was, my biota were having a field day on it. Fever finally broke on Friday, when it was replaced by sinus congestion. Today is an endlessly runny nose. Oh, well. Better now than next weekend.
I’m going to blame the fever for my “Are you really that stupid?” moment this morning. Felt I was well enough to make a quick run to the grocery store for some not-really-needed-that-badly supplies. Start the car, hit the garage door opener - nothing. Totally dead battery. Didn’t want to disconnect the door from the opener, so I texted a buddy to grab a couple of appropriate batteries if he was out and about. Just as I was about to hit Send, it occurred to me that I could just hit the hard-wired button by the door into the house and exit through the front door!
Laugh, but don’t point.
Hope everybody is having a less humbling day than I’m having.
