I called in today. I'm not really sure how I managed that, but I'm pretty impressed with myself. Talking was hard and my throat still feels all ripped up from it, but I guess I sounded convincingly hoarse because Charles didn't question the fact that I needed to stay home. Maybe it had something to do with the unspoken rule that you never call in sick on pay day unless you really are. Tomorrow might be a different story, though, because Saturday's busy and
sorry, I got distracted. That last paragraph took me about an hour to type. I was talking about...Saturday. Yeah, OK, right. Saturday is going to be really hard because I'm definitely going to have to call in again. I need the time to figure things out. I'm going to be going through a long period of readjustment, I think.
I went to bed early last night feeling all right, but my shoulders and my back itched a little. They usually itch for some reason, and it felt good kind of rubbing my back against the bed, like I was a kind of bear, only I wasn't ten feet tall or standing up. Anyway, after that I got this weird headache...you know how...what are they called...those headaches where it hurts behind your eyes? It was like that only pushed more to the front. My eye-holes were all achy and weird. So I took some ibuprofen and that helped and then I went to sleep because I was suddenly really tired.
And then I woke up, and looking at things kind of hurt. I kept seeing like, the opposite walls of my room both at once but I couldn't focus on anything. I kept *trying* but it hurt too much, so I just curled up in bed for a while. Tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. The highway was really busy outside and the kids were stupidly loud going to school. That and Thesaurus was playing outside of my door. This made me tense for some reason and when he wouldn't quit I thought I'd go and make him shoo somewhere else.
I hopped down off the bed, which...was my first clue that something was wrong. I stopped and turned to try and see things, but...it took me a while to make sense out of everything I was seeing. It's...weird being able to read the computer screen *and* read the books on the shelf behind you at the same time. I'm still trying to work that out, but it's better than before.
Sorry, this is taking a long time and I'm not sure if I've really said anything that makes sense yet. Uhm...I'm a rabbit now. I have the good fortune of still...remembering things mostly, but not fortunate enough to, you know, have thumbs. Everything's really big and I can't reach my doorknob to get out, and even if I did Thesaurus would be there anyway. Dunno if he'd recognize me but I don't want to find out without Odis.
Maybe I'll say more later, but I'm hungry right now. Thankfully I left cake in here last night, and some tea, and I'm going to go and try to work out the whole eye thing. It makes me feel like a bug or something.
