death doom and disease

[sofiaviolet]

Hello internets, I have the flu! (This despite having a flu shot; I can only shudder at the thought of how ill I'd be otherwise.) I sneezed more than usual at work on Wednesday and had begun developing aches by the time I got home from class. On Thursday I reached 101ºF (and I don't really do the whole fever thing, so whenever I cross into triple digits it's a huge deal and I feel a thousand times sicker), and developed a cough. As a result, I missed class and Mahler's 9th Symphony. Today, I'm still coughing and sneezing (and suffering the ill effects of not eating anything yesterday), so I'm going to miss work. Bleh.

Ew, that sounds just like the one I got. Sleeeeep.

Much sleep and Nyquil later, I am left with irritated lungs and a lingering cough. Hoping a week of warm and humid weather will help; thank god for spring break.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a nurse told my mother that apparently this last batch of flu shots (from the last six months or whatever) didn't include a certain strain that they had the previous flu season. So now it's going around because nobody was actually vaccinated for it. /o\

Oh, great. :(

She could have misremembered! But that seemed to be the gist of it.

Ugh, the flu. Sleep lots, feel better!

Much improved. Have traded fever for cough, though.
