Sick, Sick, Sick
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
I woke up around 4:30am and I knew I was sick. I moved into my computer room, covered up well, started chills and fever, coughing and just wanted to get some sleep but couldn't. I tried getting up but would make it to the bathroom then need to get prone again. I took some aspirin but it didn't seen to do much for me.
The Beast, as usual, just ignored me even though he had to have heard me coughing and sounding like I wanted to barf. When he had finished making something that was definitely beef for dinner (must be another roast and it was turning my stomach), I finally got him to bring me some ice water because I was really dehydrated. Getting that down helped and I was able to keep it down.
I am not going to prolong this but I am going to be staying in my bed tonight and not trying to spare the Beast. I have a feeling his flu shot he got the other day may just have given this to me. I'm going to make myself (I hope) some hot lemonade which will dry up these sinuses at least. Other than that, just keep your fingers crossed that I feel better in the morning. I really DO have things I need to get done.
Love you all...

You can't get the flu from the flu shot because it uses a dead virus. However, he's out in public all the time, while you've been at home for a long time. He probably brought it to you from the outside world. You should consider getting the flu shot, too. I've been getting one for about 10 years now (since I got the flu one year and ended up in the hospital for 4 days with pneumonia) and I don't even get a sniffle any more.
I usually do get the flu shot every year but I haven't been out yet this time around. I will probably go and get mine next week at Walmart or CVS here. I knew I couldn't get it from him via the shot but he was around a lot of sick people while at the hospital last week. I have to give him a hard time, don't I?
