Stayed home from work today. The family made me stay home from work today.

Fever of 103.4 around midnight. It dropped to 101 this morning, and went back up to 102.2 around noon. Feel like crap. Having small fits of delirious dreams followed by fit filled sleep.

No time for rest. I've only got another 30 to 40 years. I might miss something.

Plus I've never been an eight hour guy. I *have* however been a "my biorhythm says I should be sleeping between 3 am and 10 to 11am" kinda guy. Give me five hours in there, and I'm usually okay.

Usually...

I hear that. I'm pretty fond of 3-10 or 11 myself.
