Iz sick liek whoa
I have the flu.
It sucks.
Actually, it's been so long since I've had the flu that I'd forgotten the difference between this and a cold. But yeah...This...this is no cold, that's for sure. I hurt all over, I'm completely out of it, I've got what is for me a relatively high fever (my normal body temperature is a bit lower than average), I've been throwing up, and yesterday morning I actually fainted! Not passed out as in was resting and fell asleep, but fainted. In the bathroom. Thank god I didn't hit my head on the way down. I've never passed out for no reason before (yes, I know, having the flu is the reason, but that's too general)--it's always been something like hitting my head, getting heat stroke, seeing blood...This was nothing! I was standing up taking my temperature. I leaned forward to try to read the display in the mirror, and wham. At least I had time to back away from the sink before I fell. Oh, and I feel like I just want to go take the world's longest shower and just stand in there until I feel clean. Ick! I hate being sick!
At any rate, I'm feeling better today than I was yesterday (I've been awake most of the day, for one thing), but I'm still miserable. And I'm craving spinach salad and a baked potato. I don't think the potato will be a problem, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep the salad down. But I really want it. I think I'll ignore common sense and ask Mom to make one when she gets home (whut? I'm sick).
