EDIT: My feeling of guilt has been assuaged as the dizziness and nausea has returned. However, this fails to bring me any true sense of relief because now I feel really sick again. >_>

I called into work today. I think this is only the second time I've called in sick at a job before, excluding when I cut myself a couple years back and called like 5 days in advance. And was out for like a week cause it took twice as long to heal as it should've...

But anyway. I feel really bad about it. I woke up around 6 to go to the bathroom, and I kinda stumbled around, really dizzy. I thought it was odd, but didn't think much of it, and went back to bed assuming it would get better when I woke up.

I got up at 7-ish and went down to make breakfast, but I soon learned that the dizziness and nausea got worse the longer I was on my feet. So I sat down for a bit and tried to regain composure, but I was feeling some barfage coming on, so I went back upstairs to lay down after about 10 minutes of trying to see how bad it was.

So the dizziness and nausea were bad, and like I said, got worse the longer I was on my feet. But I didn't actually barf, but I felt pretty bad. I hated the idea of calling in for that, but i called in cause I had to work at 9 and I had to make the decision ASAP so they could find someone else to work.

So I took a Dollar General brand Advil and went back to sleep for like 2.5 hours. And I feel pretty much better now. The dizziness is now just some mild, manageable misery in the form of a headache and a not atypical tummyache. But I feel awful that I called in and soon after felt good enough to go in to work.

I thought about calling in and seeing if they still needed me now, but I can't imagine them taking my initial call-in serious when I now feel good enough to go in a few hours later. :/

My "new" scanner comes in today, so I'll finally be able to scan these sketches I've had laying around! By "new" I mean "23 bucks off of ebay after shipping." But it's an Epson, and it is truly Vista compatible as well as Mac compatible, so it will work with either of my primary computers.

I guess I'll go back to resting now. While I feel better, I still have a tummyache and headache.
