I know. I know. It looks like I really DID vanish when I got into the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. Unfortunately, such was not the case. The day I got the invitation, I was scheduled to work late (as in 6pm-3am), so I should have gotten back in bed. However, I wasn't sleepy (not just because of the beta -- I'm used to getting up early), so I sat up a while, hoping to get sleepy. I finally fell asleep, for about two hours. When I got up and got ready for work again, I felt kinda icky. My sinuses were beginning to feel that "not so good" feeling that usually signals the onset of a sinus infection.
When I got home, I would have felt better if I had gone to bed. Instead, though, I ignored the crappy feeling in my sinuses, and tooled around a bit on the beta. I didn't play long, since the server went down, but I was up long enough (it was my "day off" -- like being off from 3am one day till 10am the next really amounts to much) that I tried to minimize my sleep, for fear I wouldn't sleep well that night. I should have slept, since I got involved with something with the roommates, like usual, and went to bed around midnight (I figured midnight to 8am, with two hours to dress and get to work, should be good).
I felt worse when I got up, but I wasn't convinced until I was already dressed, so I went in anyway. Thankfully, my boss took pity on me, whether it was intentional or not, and kept me in Guest Care the whole day (someone else working all day had called in, so I kinda wonder if she wasn't just relieved I'd come in, despite being sick). I got to feeling better-ish on Sunday, but who was in town but my good buddy Rick.
The next day (Monday), I took him around to a couple of places -- to get pictures of family and his suitcase (he'd stayed with us that night) -- and when we came back, I laid down, feeling like I'd been hit with a truck. I almost backed out of giving him a ride to the airport, but
strieson went with me. When I returned, I slept HARD, for about two hours. When I woke, I felt better, and, like an idiot, starting doing normal things again.
The rest of the week wasn't much better. I worked unusual shifts, and my sleep pattern wasn’t much of a pattern. As a result, I got a lot sicker, and I felt it completely. What was worst was that I actually thought about going to the doctor, but I couldn’t determine a good day to go, since I wasn’t off until Saturday. So, I took medicine, and tried to rest when I could. I barely touched WoW, and mainly watched Supernatural seasons 1 and 2 with my roommates. (Got ‘em hooked, hehehe..)
I have spent more time in bed since Saturday, and feel a lot better for it, though I know I’m not out of the woods yet. I am getting sleep, drinking plenty of juice and water, and taking it easy. I am trying to peek in on the beta a little, since they announced the release date today.
I like Death Knight, and will be rolling one when they go live. I also dislike the paladin changes, and will probably be retiring mine. I imagine that I will level my druid, my warrior, and a death knight.
For now, I gotta hit the hay. G’night, folks.

Apparently, the house in Fayette County he was supposed to be getting fell through, and he moved back to New York. This time, though, the man did something smart, and took an hourly job working carpet for an apartment complex. Steady income, a discount on rent, and he's in a nice area? I'm THRILLED for him. :)I left work early, and I hung out with him all day, though my mood started going south and I started feeling really bad. I wanted to try to do a spontaneous D&D game for Rick, since he never gets to play, and we ALWAYS do one when he's in town. I even got started, but I was so worn out and bad feeling (I literally was dozing off at the table, with everyone waiting on what I was to say next), that we scrapped it before we even got to a combat encounter.
Even if he's far away again, and can't play D&D with us. :(
