Various people have been mentioning getting sick or not feeling well over the past week or so. It appears that, as of yesterday, I’ve managed to catch something as well.
It started yesterday afternoon with that whole-body-achy-feeling and the congestion has been mounting over the past 24 hours. We had the annual Chez Nous December birthday/holiday party to attend last night, so I fought through the beginnings of the illness. We only stayed for an hour and a half or so because the kids needed to be in bed for school this morning, but I decided at some point that it’d be ok to have one beer. Boy, was that a mistake.
I took TheraFlu last night once we got home in an attempt to ward off the impending doom. It worked for a little while this morning, however, now I feel as bad or worse as I did yesterday at this time. I guess this is a rather public way to announce to your job that, barring a miraculous recovery overnight, you won’t be coming in tomorrow.
