Sick even unto death.

I have been talking about this a lot on Twitter, to the point that I figured everyone knew, but apparently, I was wrong. So:

I am sick. Like really, really sick. Like "missing a week of work, barely getting out of bed, too exhausted to deal with anything" sick. I caught the flu. And yes, I got my flu shot. It's not a magic bullet; it just increases resistance and sometimes decreases the severity of the flu itself. Well, if that's the case, I'm damn glad I got it, because I think I'd be dead now without it.

This is a bad, bad flu season. Take care of yourselves. And please, please, don't pressure me for fast responses to anything. I am too sick to die, and you may have to wait longer than usual for an answer.

I caught the flu right before christmas and was lucky in that I was able to knock out the worst of it in 3 days. There's also a really nasty, persistant cold going around as well. THe husband caught that last week and gave it to me.

LOTS of rest, LOTS of fluids. LOTS of kitty cuddles.

I've avoided the flu so far - but I caught that dang cold at the beginning of December. I'm only -just- starting to get over it. Yeesh!

-Everyone!- Try to stay healthy. If you get sick, stay warm, sleep lots and stay hydrated.
