jedusorFirst off, I'm completely fine with regards to the chemical explosion. It was about four and a half miles away from Penn Valley, so we weren't within the area that was evacuated, and the cloud was drifting more west than south. I'm not going outside anyway- the hot tub sounds really good, but acid rain does not, even if it doesn't have a "high rate of toxicity." Here's the most recent story about it I can find.
Secondly, I do not appear to be completely fine with regards to my health. I first noticed the headache around noon yesterday. By the time I went to work at 2:00, it had gotten really painful. Mom picked me up to get me away from the explosion around 3:15, and just after I got home, I collapsed on the couch with pain from the back of my eyes to the base of my neck, a sore throat so bad I could barely whisper, a fever, chills, and pain sporadically shooting through my eardrums. I fell asleep just after taking some Tylenol (which should tell those of you who know me well how badly it hurt; I hate drugs and avoid them whenever possible). I woke up at midnight and went to the bathroom, and on the way back, began shivering so intensely that I couldn't walk and nearly fell over. Bill, bless his heart, brought me Kleenex and a paper bag, which I thought was funny because snot and vomiting were pretty much the only symptoms I wasn't having. I was grateful when I woke up this morning, though, because my nose was stuffed and I felt nauseous, though that last might have had something to do with not having eaten anything except an orange in about 20 hours.
I've made the executive decision not to go to school today, even though it's not closed (it did close for evening classes last night due to the chemical cloud). The headache is mostly gone, but the fever, sore throat and chills are very much still present, so I'm thinking leaving the house would not be the best idea.
