I've Got the Flu
...which is ironic, since I just wrote a story last week about the surprise surplus of flu vaccine, and recommended that readers get a shot now since February is traditionally the worst month for the flu bug.
But did I take my own advice? Nope.
So, when I started getting the chills at work--and I seemed to be the only one in the office who was cold (despite my thick turtle neck)--I had a feeling it might be the flu. But I knew I was sick when we opened a box of See's chocolates at the news meeting and I wasn't even tempted. I finally forced myself to eat half a turkey sandwich at about 3. Turns out, that'd be the last thing I'd eat all day.
I went home at 5 (which is very early compared to my normal work hours) and my fever was 101.8 degrees by 7. Can't remember much more about last night. I slept through most of the NBC line-up. Though I did rouse myself enough to watch "The Apprentice" and the Magna team, who all have college degress, get their butts kicked by the Net Worth team, who don't (but do have triple the net worth of their opponents collectively, as my husband points out in his blog--hence the name). For those keeping score, that's Street Smarts 2, Book Smarts 1.
I'm a college grad (and magna), but it was still kinda nice to see the Street Smarts team wipe the cocky grins off their opponents' faces.
Then my husband made me a hot mug of cherry-flavored Theraflu and I was out cold before Jon Stewart had even finished his "Daily Show" monologue.
