Not a good sign...

It's 70 degrees in our house and I'm shivering. That can't be good.

You're not sick, Eric, are you?

uh oh. Maybe you're just mentally reacting to the cold snap out there in the flatlands?

Posted by: Jim at January 15, 2007 08:31 PM

Maybe your thermostat has been jacked?

I hope that is not the start of being sick! That would just be terrible! How are you feeling now?

Maybe part of your mind is thinking about next month's utility bill!

Eric,
That is what more than 14% body fat is for

Being denser than the ice that didn't fall here in Houston, I didn't "get" the chills remark until a bit later. Hope you're feeling better, Eric.

It's only worse when it's 60 degrees in the house and you're sweating.

Feel better soon!

Thanks, guys. I am feeling better this morning, after going to bed before 9:00 last night (wearing a t-shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants, and socks vs. my usual -- well, not that much) and waking up at 11:00 pm for a shot of NyQuil. Still have a bit of a sore throat but the chills are gone.

I suspect I'm just allergic to awards shows. The mere sight of Alec Baldwin gives me the shivers.

OMG...I've got the same thing, except I'm at the office... Bad throat, cold but wearing a warm sweater and sitting under the heat vent...coughing up my guts. Going home at noon for Dayquil and a long nap.

Posted by: julie at January 16, 2007 10:41 AM

Fortunately, I avoided the cough. That Dayquil is good stuff; see that you do carry through with your plan, and get better!

Posted by: Eric at January 16, 2007 10:44 AM

I'm suffering similar symptoms...sore throat, shivers, pink cheeks, tired. Must be contagious. Get well quickly!

Yikes! Hope I'm not a carrier...the Typhoid Mary of the Blogosphere.

Quick...disinfect your keyboard. And hit the Dayquil!

The mere sight of Alec Baldwin gives me the shivers.

Not me. Alec Baldwin does to me what something did to Bret's bird. Tim Robbins causes facial tics and a bad breath. Susan Sarandon makes my teeth itch.

They ought to come with disclaimers like on prescription drug adverts.

Well, here's the amazing thing: I didn't even see Baldwin on the show last night!

That's right...his presence traveled back in time to afflict me, via preemptive strike. Now that's toxic.

Posted by: Eric at January 16, 2007 02:09 PM

Alec Baldwin rules!

Posted by: Jim at January 16, 2007 03:36 PM

Oh, surely you meant Adam, right? It's a common mistake.

Posted by: Eric at January 16, 2007 03:41 PM

Eric, its just cold...
