Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 09:59 pmEvening socialisation at Limmud is the best opportunity bar none in the Jewish year to meet new people, and the last night (on which I have in the past stayed up considerably later than normal) particularly so.
This year, however, I've had to miss the first few evenings, because I was not over my flu, and needed early nights. Now I'm going to have to miss the last night too, because of a stomach bug that's started doing the rounds. There's over 2000 people here; by staying in my room tonight I shall help avoid spreading it further. It's the right thing to do... but it's still incredibly annoying. The only mitigating circumstance is that I've avoided the symptoms of pronounced vomiting.
ETA: Just when you think it can't get worse... I'm sitting here with the heating on full, two thick jumpers on, and my big thick coat, and I'm still not quite warm enough. So I whip out my thermometer, which, thanks to the earlier flu incident, I have with me, and take my temperature. 99.6°F—exactly the same as a week ago. :-(
Bah; I feel crap.
ETA: Morning update: 100.1°F—probably equivalent to nearly 101°F in someone with standard normal body temperature.
