So after several days of fevers, intense coughing fits and general nastiness, I am emerging from my cocoon of sickness, at least slightly. That's right, I got the flu. And how fun it is!
Thursday night: chest pains and fever hit.
Friday: chest pains, fever and incredible fatigue. Unfortunately, I needed to be at work since I have no backup and I had two projects reporting. But I heeded my boss' advice and left an hour early once I reported. Got home, my fever spiked and I slept until midnight, when
tenner called to tell me he was coming home. At that point my fever broke. Alleluia!
Saturday: still had the chest pains, and intense coughing fits. I slept in, went bowling, slept, went to the 76 for a birthday celebration with a friend, came home, watched "Family Guy", slept some more.
Sunday: Stayed home from church and slept. In fact, I didn't leave the house all day! Still coughing, but less intensely. No more fever. Still tired, and not wanting to have a relapse, I opt to take the one day that I can afford this week: Monday.
Monday: Slept in. My fever is gone, I need some water, and my cough is still there, but I am feeling better and better. Tomorrow should definitely be a go. I'll just take things easy.
As far as things go, it sucked, but not for a horribly long time. So that's good.
