swestrupI slept something like 10 hours, but since I didn't fall asleep until 6:00 am, I didn't get up until 4:00 pm. So, I'm still drinking coffee to wake up. I don't have an appetite yet, but I've gotten some eggs and cheese for breakfast because its been 20 or so hours since I last ate anything, and I'm starting to feel weak in the knees.
Other than the listlessness, the sinus congestion and the somewhat under-the-weather feeling, I don't actually feel all that bad. Its very strange; I never used to have trouble telling when I was ill, because when I was sick I felt awful. Nowadays its not always clear to me, when I don't want to get out of bed, if its because I've got a disease, or if I'm just depressed. Lord knows I don't miss joint aches, intense nausea and vomiting, but I wouldn't mind some sort of flag to indicate when I'm physically ill and not just mentally or emotionally exhausted.
