Well, here I am at home, shivering with chills and sweating with hot flashes. No, it is not menopause. I have come down with some kind of bug, and it is kicking my butt. It started Wednesday, but I thought it was allergies since some crazy cool front had made its way to Houston and had blown out all the humidity. Less humidity was nice, but those things usually set my allergies off.
But as I drove to Dallas Wednesday night, I knew it was something else. When I finally got a room (my hotel had oversold and made me drive to a sister hotel), I was down right hurting (body aches, fever, etc.). I didn’t have a thermometer, so I had no idea what my temperature was up to, but I was burning up big time. So I popped a bunch of ibuprofen and laid down. I was kinda bummed because the hotel was brand new and they had 36″ DLP TVs mounted on swiveling arms hooked to the wall, and I wanted to watch something on that puppy. But oh well.
Anyway, I felt better the next morning, and luckily the eval install (RSA enVision, formerly Network Intelligence) went swimmingly. But as I started back to Houston, it hit me again. I couldn’t even listen to music my head was pounding so hard.
So last night I kept waking up, and I checked my temp about 1am. Over 102 degrees. Not good. Again the chills were racking me, and I had to go into the living room and sleep on the couch so I wouldn’t wake my wife up with all the coughing. I have a call today, but I have to cancel. This really sucks bad.
I am sure I could make a correlation to security somewhere here, but my brain hurts too bad to come up with anything. If you have some ideas, feel free to comment.
