Beating the flu

I have to tell you....that version of the flu floating around is nasty.

It took me out for most of last week. It started the Friday before and then seemed to get better. Tuesday morning,  during the , I woke up feeling off. It was a rough night but I got up for work and showered nevertheless. Sometimes you just feel better after your shower.

Not this time.

 I bundled up and headed to school early to prep for a sub.

I barely made it home before the flu extravaganza began. I haven't been this sick since I had food poisoning in 2008.

Wed morning I felt a little better. Got up, showered and knew it was going to work. Repeat the 'go to school, plan for a sub and then come home again'.

I went to work Thursday determined to make it. I was home before 10.

Friday I survived the day of work but it was a long day.

I think I picked up the bug at the hospital visiting dad.

I did not get a flu shot this year. From everything I heard, this strain going around would not have been slowed by it anyways.
