I'm Sick!

Well, I'm sick. I mean more than mentally. Seriously, this is the 4th day and counting that I've had the flu. At least that's what I'm calling it. Virus, infection, flu...it's all the same. I feel achy, tired, have no energy, headaches, dizziness, gas, cramps, nausea, the light hurts my eyes, and I have a fever. I keep waiting for it to go away. I haven't been taking anything beside Tylenol to keep the fever down; it seems to help take away some of the achiness too. Drinking lots, sleeping lots, reading and watching movies and doing exciting things like working on my financial budget (which I haven't updated since June!).
I've Watched:
Alexander
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
2 episodes of "Corner Gas--Season 1"
2 episodes of CSI Las Vegas
1 episode of Alias
2 episodes of "French in Action" a learning French video series
I've read "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (in French, to help with my vocab and grammar). It's actually entertaining and I don't even realize that I'm studying French. I'm also reading "The Divine Conspiracy" by Dallas Willard; very deep, so I have to take it in slowly in order to savor it.
I haven't left the house since Monday evening, 4 days ago. I feel like hermit but everytime I think I have enough energy to go for a walk, etc, my fever goes up, or I feel worse. My only contact with the outside world has been a few phone calls from coworkers here, a skype call to my parents, msn with friends and family, and a neighbour brought some groceries over for me today. It's been a really long time since I've been this sick for so long. I'm trying to be patient! At first I kind of enjoyed having some time to relax and read and watch movies. But now I'm just bored and want to get back to real life.
