flu

[threeplusfire]

I caught the flu coming home from my emergency trip, probably on that hellish swing through Orlando. At first I thought it was just jet lag and being up for so long. But by the next day the fever started, and every joint in my body ached. That's the worst part of the flu, that weird diffuse pain that strikes everything. I haven't been this sick since I had bronchitis about five or six years ago, I think. I've missed work for the first time. My throat has just given up, and I've not had a voice in about two days. Amazing what you can't do when you don't have a voice - no calling the doctor's office, no drive throughs, no asking for help when you're trapped in a mess of road closures.

Mostly I resent all the wasted time that I could be doing something more productive with that sitting here hacking and staring into space because being sick is so exhausting.
