The Flu

Woke up yesterday in a pool of sweat. I had been feeling a bit dodgy the night before, so I went to bed at 8:00. I had expected to wake up refreshed and ready to go, not like I had been hit by a bus. Though I spent the day sleeping, I continued to get worse until by temp topped at 102. If you've never had the chance to try a chess problem with a 102 fever, well you're not missing much.

I was supposed to do 340 probs, but all I could manage was the 110 of Level 10. Fortunately, I had planned to take today off because it is the Empress' birthday. Assuming I can stay awake longer than 10 minutes, I should be able to catch up the probs and be right on schedule for tomorrow. Who knows? I might even get my act together and make Dulcinea a nice birthday dinner as well.

148 days down, 7 to go
110 problems down, 929 to go in Circle Five
Level 10: 97%
