In Sickness & Health ( but mostly sickness )

You know how you get that funny smell late on a Friday, just as your work day is winding up? That odd tinge to everything that you try to ignore because you know what it means. It means you'd better have some Theraflu in the meds cabinet at home, and your weekend is going to suck.

I had just that sensation this past Friday at the appointed hour. I dutifully checked for my Theraflu when I got home and then waited.....

and waited.....

and waited.....

And then I woke up and had to go back to work on Monday. Now normally you would think this shouldn't be a source of irritation, but think about it. I spent the whole weekend preparing for being sick. Taking vitamins, drinking more water and juice than normal (and remembering!) and never changing out of my Hugh Hefner outft.

And still, I have that same sensation, except now I have a sore throat, slight sinus pain and general body aches. Flu maybe? The slow, three week, build up until you are incapacitated type of flu? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Oh joy.
