Sick Day

[elizalavelle]

Ugh I am so sick. Totally have the flu (the one you get the flu shot for ... cold with a fever and lots of aches and pains) and I am very much unimpressed. No this still does not make me want to get a flu shot at all, I'd rather get some natural immunity to this so I don't get sick later on this year with the same darn thing. Still no fun. I could feel myself getting a little foggy yesterday and I had a hormonal migraine (there's a fun combination) but I still pushed through and got through work and tutoring (I probably caught this from the kid who I tutored last night so I wasn't too worried about making her sick) and then fell asleep just after 10 last night. Then I woke up around 1:30 and spent from then 'til now, tossing and turning and having a fever and chills and hurting in all of my muscles. This is my least favourite kind of sick because I couldn't sleep through it and mostly I just feel whiny.

Also I still have that headache, it's been downgraded from migraine which is good but it's refusing to go away.

So I'm off sick from work, not happy about doing that because I missed a day last week and I do not like having sick days so close together.

I miss having Nomi as my roommate, she made me soup last year when I was sick like this.

I steadfastly refuse to get flu shots beause I'm all about building my natural immunity to these things. The worst is over now anyways, usually it's only a truely horrible 24 hours and then I start to improve :)

I shot my natural immunity a long time ago! :-)
