False alarm...mostly.
Me no am dead yet. What I thought was food poisoning turned out to be just a stomach bug, albeit a fairly serious one. Long story short, everything I tried to eat or drink left my body--violently--within an hour, using both exits. Became severely dehydrated, so I ended up going into the ER for a bag of IV fluids. Good times.
Even better, I was give prescriptions for antibiotics and a anti-nausea pill. The combined effects of these left me feeling drowsy, and feeling a weird sensation--not unlike an electric shock--everytime I'm startled or surprised (the latter has faded for the most part, thankfully). Then had to go home and finish a fifteen-page paper due at 4 PM today, no excuses, on which nearly half my semester grade hinges.
Another long story short, I haven't slept at all since Tuesday night (ad not very much then, either). Am off to rectify this immediately.
P.S.: And am I alone in thinking LJ's new "Update Journal" page is a dog? And an ass-ugly dog at that?
