Why I’m Enjoying My Nasty Flu
written by Regina Rodríguez-Martin
November 29, 2011

1. I keep alternating between chills and sweats, so things stay interesting.
2. I’m cheaply getting through a week without needing any real groceries (just juice and symptom relievers).
3. Caught up on all my TiVo’d programs by the third day of the illness.
4. I’m doing a lot of just laying still and staring at walls, which I don’t get to do nearly enough.
5. Great excuse to not do any housework, but instead shuffle through an increasingly disgusting apartment.
6. Allows me to practice my laser focus driving, so I can safely get myself to a clinic or doctor’s office through my fever and haziness (husband’s out of town).
7. I’m catching up on my reading.
8. I’m catching up on my hydrating.
9. I’m catching up on my coughing.
10. If the fever gets high enough, my brain will shut off, which is the only time it ever does.

If anyone wants to join me in sickness, come on over. This thing started last Wednesday, but half an hour ago my fever was still 102.4.

    Sounds like great fun "not".

    Get well soon.

    Don't know if you get it over there but Lemsip Max just before bed works for me.
