Toronto under cover
Back in Toronto. Lots of snow here. Not quite what I would expect to be dumped on Ottawa regularly, but enough that the Zondervan got stuck on our street when I returned home. However, that very night some plows came by and cleared our street. Pretty fast eh?
So I drove for about 7 hours from Ottawa. Usually it takes 5. I was stuck behind a gang of highway plows for at least half an hour at one section after Kingston. It made it safer, but much slower. I would say the driving wasn’t too dangerous, just warrented caution. Although I was driving straight into the storm, the roads weren’t covered in snow for the most part on the right lane. The passing lane was a bit more treacherous.
Right about when I arrived home I started having a headache and as I went to bed early, I plunged into a fever. Woke up midway through the night and popped some acetaminophen tablets. I’ve been taking those every 4-6 hours since then. I have never been a big proponent of pain-killers but the last time I was sick I refused to take drugs until a friend told me that the pain-killers will lower my core brain temperature and allow me to battle out the sickness quicker (I think that’s what it means!).
Went to a wedding for Elvin and Carol today, saw many supporters and friends, but didn’t really feel like had enough energy to engage much or even smile…. that part is a bummer.
I’ve slept most of the other hours of the day. I’m quite determined that I get better soon so that I won’t be sick through these holidays and Winter Conference.
