Day 1: bed & dead
Day 2: bed & dead
Day 3: bed & doctor
Day 4: couch and begin to feel alive again
So I got the flu. Totally out of the blue. I guess I am a poet now too. OK enough! At any rate, sorry for the lack of posts... I have legit been totally out of commission and bed-ridden. Not to mention having to miss 4 days of work and postpone a 2nd interview....
This all started Monday night when I dropped my friend from NYC at the bus and felt really ill and my head was on fire! We had a great fun weekend and it had to end this way.... with a 101 fever. And it stayed that way, all week, added to that body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, and loss of appetite.
I went to the doctor yesterday- it's the flu and I have to just let it ride... I feel a bit better today- thank god. So here I am. I am totally behind on all the blogs I read (my Google reader says 1000+ unread, heavens), but will try to catch up as I feel better this weekend.
This flu is nearly the same as the one I got last year in Florida in February. Luckily, the flu gods have spared me and gotten me sick BEFORE my trip this year. And with my loss of appetite, I can only think of the great Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada:
"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."
Just kidding, I miss eating things besides noodle soup and jello.
Time to join my puppy napping on the couch and You've Got Mail....
thanks for stickin with me!

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Hopefully you will be back in perfect health in no time! :)
ReplyDeleteRest up woman, you probably needed the break anyways. I hope you feel better soon! That is hilarious you quoted Devil Wears Prada! I was just wondering about you,I hadn't seen anything new in my Dashboard...feel better!

Hope you're feeling better soon! Love the quote, I've got a tummy bug today and am feeling terrible, stuck at work, anyway I also had the same illogical thought, well maybe I'll lose some weight! lol!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds terrible! Not fun at all.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of how I felt when I came to NYC/Boston and you and I met up, the day we met up was the day I felt finally felt like I wasn't dying.
