I guess I have the flu. Can't be certain that's what it is. But Mark did -- he was sick as a dog for the entire two weeks he was home last time. But I had a flu shot last fall so I figured I'd be safe, and since I still felt fine when Mark went back to work last week I thought I was home free.
But I started to feel a little yukky last weekend. I didn't think it was the flu because it was never all THAT bad -- until yesterday. I started feeling really bad in the afternoon, and by bedtime last night I felt just awful. Stuffed up. Everything hurt. And I'd get cold, then turn the heat up on the mattress pad. Then I'd start to sweat and I'd have to throw all the covers off and turn everything back down. No fun. (Haven't had THAT experience since menopause!) Anyway, I ended up staying home from work today and I spent most of the day in bed.
When I got back up to feed the horses this evening I expected my head to ache and to feel dizzy (because that's what happened when I fed them this morning), but it turned out it wasn't all that bad this time. I did feel a little weak -- but maybe not eating all day had something to do with that! Hard to believe flu would go away that fast, though, so my fingers are crossed. But hey -- maybe flu shots really DO help!
Anyway, if I still feel half decent by morning I'll be heading back to work. I hope I will. One of my bosses has an application she wants filed either tomorrow or Friday (the deadline) so it'll be way better to get back tomorrow so I won't have to deal with everything at the very last second. So wish me well. (literally!)
