I've been up since 4am with a fever and sore throat...what better thing to do than update my blog, right?
It's still too early to call my doctor. It's even still too early to call my boss and let him know that I won't make it into work for a second day. Did I say sore throat? What I meant to say is that it feels like someone's fist is in my throat...their fist is covered in sand paper and spikes. And they're twisting it around and around and around. Then, there's the fever. It went as high as 101.3. So, I spent yesterday writhing in muscle and joint ache agony and barely getting out of bed. When I woke up today, the fever was back at 101.1. Ugh. Ibuprofen is managing the fever, but not really doing anything to eliminate the pain. If it were just body aches, I could deal. The pain in my throat is unbearable! I even threw out most of my breakfast because it hurt too much to swallow...and I'm starving.

I love these enormous breakfast buffets!
a quick sandwich and fruit for lunch...poolside!
tea at the Emirates Palace Hotel
perfection in chocolate at the Emirates Palace Hotel
snacks on our sunset cruise
fresh pita at a Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi
assortment of pre-dinner treats...have I mentioned that the best hummus I've ever had was in the UAE??
stuffed grape leaves and something with chick peas...I wasn't a fan of either at this restaurant
yummy shwarma...too bad I was sooooo full at this point
and even MORE food...
BEST. MANGO. SMOOTHIE. EVER.

Indian Food at the Emirates Mall...better than I would have expected, it actually had some spice to it!
Yup. This is the first time in about 5 1/2 years...but I had Mc Donalds at the Abu Dhabi airport

Actually, I grabbed a chicken salad wrap and a side salad at Au Bon Pain
