&@%$#! FLU SHOT!
Stop me if you've heard this one--perfectly fine happy dandy person gets flu shot, and within hours is sick as proverbial dog.
I know, I know, it doesn't work that way. Flu shots can't make you ill; it's not live virus. And yet, here I am. Eyes puffed up so bad it's hard to see screen. Neck swollen and sore. Head full of stuffing. Aches everywhere. It could be a reaction to the shot, even though I've never had that happen before (okay, I've never HAD a flu shot before, but I've never had a reaction to ANYTHING.)
Just... feel... sick. And stupid. Lord, I feel stupid.
I know that if I didn't get the shot I'd be feeling much worse if I caught it. And yet, here I am. I did it so I wouldn't miss any time out of work sick, because if I get another point off I get a 1 day suspension. I thought I was being so clever. I have about 4 hours left to decide to call in sick or not. I did not need this. Really.
