I have good news, and bad news...
So, good news: I'm no longer working 'til 8pm on my birthday.
Bad news: 'Cause I seem to have come down with Swine Flu.
Good news: Medical/Employer advice: Take the next 5 days off
Bad news: Casual. That'll be 5 days without pay. >.<
Good news: So far, it's really been quite mild, and may not have twigged at all, if not for the fact that a friend I saw Tuesday night is now in isolation with confirmed H1N1 swine flu.
Bad news: It's really infectious, and I have gone out/seen people since Tuesday evening.
Good news: My self-imposed 'detox' month of July is over, and I can now have things like alcohol, chocolate and caffeine again.
Bad news: Actually, there's no bad to this one. I can now indulge again, if I choose, and I think I've shifted my habits a bit towards the healthier side, and lost weight/inches into the bargain. Win!
So, Perth people, if you've seen me since Tuesday night, and/or were at Fantastic Planet's monthly drinks on Tuesday, keep a mental eye out for flu symptoms. It is, by all accounts, (including mine so far,) a very wussy influenza, but it is also highly infectious, and if you or someone you know is immuno-compromised, it can be a Very Bad Thing™.
