So I woke up and thought about running some out-of-town errands, but then I remembered that like 10 days ago

katesterbp and I had talked about hanging out tonight, because she was going to be in town helping her parents move. So I'd been up for a few hours & called & yes, sure, we'll hang out, so long as her parents don't need her.

Within two hours I am running a fever of 101 degrees, accompanied by an incipient migraine & a lot of yawning.
(This may just be the "weekend flu" thing that I've been having on and off all summer.)
I took some Tylenol and decided to sit it out and see how I was feeling in a while, but things were not improving.
I really didn't want to stand Kat up because I have had to cancel like 2/3 of the plans I've tried to make with her in the last few months.

Thus (for once) I was happy to be stood up myself - Kat called to tell me that her parents did indeed need her because the move has to proceed a lot more quickly than she'd thought (one day, not several). I felt much less guilty upon hearing this.

I just wish there were something, anything, to watch on TV. there isn't. I'm probably going to pop in a video tape, finish today's work for

intensefragilty, and go to bed early. I'm not a complete slacker - I did do laundry today, and I cooked dinner, and I took care of my dog. She was sick in her crate overnight and I've made sure that her crate and bedding were carefully washed out. She's fine now.
