It wasn't too much sun and/or VOG. It was some sort of raging virus of the human kind. By last night I must have had a fever of 104 or 105 degrees. Carlton offered to take me to the emergency room or the doc-in-box. But, I could hardly make it to the bathroom. No way I could deal with 4 flights of stairs.

in my fevered state I wondered: Is this bird flu? But I couldn't recall being bitten by a chicken lately. Next: Maybe this is dengue fever. I could recall being bitten by a mosquito. Fortunately, I was well enough by the morning to go on line and Google dengue fever. Good news is - I don't seem to have dengue fever and it doesn't really kill all that many people if I do.

I just hope that Carlton doesn't get "IT". Maybe his flu shot will protect him. And, I am heaps better than yesterday.
