Maybe all that emotional distress I felt last week was the flu starting to take ahold of me. As soon as I felt better mentally, I started getting physically sick. I could tell something was up when I was working Saturday and my voice started getting hoarse. When I came home, I went to bed and stayed there until Sunday morning. It got worse throughout the day and hit its peak Sunday night. It seems to very contagioius, Steve picked it up last week and infected Mike, my mom, and me with it all at once, though I came down with it a day later than them. My dad is the only one who hasn't gotten it yet, maybe because he got a flu shot. He thinks he's getting it, though. Funny thing is, last year he was the only one in the family to get a flu shot AND the only one to get the flu. That's why I think flu shots are B.S. I usually don't mind getting sick too much, but I really didn't want to be sick now. Today's the second day I called in sick at the library, plus this was supposed to be the week I go out and go nuts with the job stuff. All I could do yesterday was apply for 4 different jobs online. Not bad, I guess, but I'm going to miss a couple opportunities where I needed to apply in person. I hope to be back on my feet tomorrow, I don't want to call in sick again. I think I still have a fever, which I've had since Sunday. I hope nobody else gets this, it's not fun. :-( I don't know what to do about work, because I want to go back, but I don't want to infect the entire staff! Aieee. I guess I'll wait till tomorrow to see what's up.
