Subject: I have a message from my giant death robot
He wanted me to tell you something...
What was it?
Oh yeah
BOOM
[end]
I was playing Civilisation V when she left the house this morning, and had been enthusing about having acquired my first Giant Death Robot. I'd never seen one in play before, because I hadn't built one, and when my enemies had, I'd encountered them on the ocean, in transit to attack, and I'd sunk them before they could land.
In not unrelated news, I'm not sure using a Giant Death Robot to attack Tokyo will ever not be hilarious.
GAMERA WILL NOT SAVE YOU NOW
Anyway, I've been quiet for the last week or two because, as it turns out, I was in fact very very sick. Sick enough that, when I started to recover, the answer to how I was feeling started with "lucid", because for several days, I really wasn't lucid at all. (Hence this post.) My delirium was odd, because it wasn't based on a fever as far as we could tell. Checking with an actual thermometer even revealed my temperature was up *maybe* half a degree from what I could recall was normal - and definitely not very high, given I didn't even break 37.
In a new category for Weirdest Symptom Ever - that hasn't quite cleared up - this illness also made my teeth hurt. I was, for a bit, mildly worried that I'd developed my first ever cavity or something, and this was actually the proverbial toothache, but then I decided that toothache from tooth decay probably didn't come and go at random points all over one's jaw. I have 29 teeth*. At various points over the last couple of weeks, every single one of them has hurt, singly or in groups.
* - Yes, I know the nominal tooth count for adults is 32. I have 29. Three molars were removed because there wasn't room for them. There's no spare space in my mouth. I don't have the faintest idea where Nature thought three more teeth could fit.
