AM - off. had a brutal last ~18 hours. went to take a nap at 2pm yesterday because it was supposed to snow late that night and i wanted to run in it(it ended up being more of a blizzard than mere winter snow with the 15-mph winds and all so probably would have ran on the treadmill anyway), but woke up from the nap very nauseous once again. threw up a bit and went to bed that night probably dehydrated and woke up at 6am sick once again(with nothing in my system to rid myself of) and the most splitting migraine i've ever expereinced. 6am-noon was nothing but me sitting/lying down in a dark room with a sleeping mask on. it was hell, i couldn't even keep down coconut water or a banana until like 10am. typing this now(1pm), i feel a bit better, although my body aches and i have the fear if i go outside i'll recreate this:

but it's whatever. i'll get in some kind of exercise tonight, but man this sucks. my breathing is fine outside a sore chest from all the vomiting, and i'm not congested or anything so i don't think i caught this omnibot virus twitter keeps talking about

PM - managed to work up the strength to go out to buy some cans of soup but got lost on the way back and accidentally spent 40 minutes in the gym trying to get rid of these damn aches. started with static stretches, moving up to dynamic stretches and a couple drills before doing leg extensions and calf raises at like 30% of my max. just stimulating the legs, i'd have tried some stationary work but i don't know if i could have done it for more than a couple minutes, honestly. i had to take a breather trying to put on my shoes before i left the apartment, for god's sake. still, i crawled in there and walked out feeling pretty good so that's a plus. also, campbell's bean and bacon soup after! probably my most nostalgic food, i hear nostalgia doubles as an anti-inflammatory so extra bonus there.

Good Lord! That is awful! I'm having trouble not laughing at your pain though. Barfing guy goes to the gym to do some stretches, and eat some bean and bacon soup? ..... What?

if it was chicken noodle soup you wouldn't be saying jack! different "food for the soul"s for different souls, i guess.

plan was originally just to stop at the gym on the way back and sit in the steam room for 10 minutes, but i was already close enough to hell without feeling the heat :)

plus i'd stomached coffee a couple hours earlier, which was the real test for if i was alive again.

the situationally funniest part of the entire thing to me was the agony of having a pounding headache, but not being able to focus out of it because of caffeine withdrawal. so i just had to wait until the point where the scales tipped, and as always coffee solved all my problems.
