And now, the I Hate the Flu Song

[annathepiper]

I hate the flu
I hate the fl--*wheeze hack cough cough hack cough*
I do not hate the Ny-y-Quil
But I hate the flu

I've been spending the last three days wrestling off this flu that's tackled me. My fever broke overnight between Thursday and Friday; I stayed home from work on Friday. I've been sleeping a lot, and slogging back copious amounts of water and Gatorade. And coughing. Bleah. Stupid coughing.

Needless to say, I haven't written a word. But I've watched a lot of Invader Zim, and we did watch the new episode of Battlestar Galactica last night (three words: "Apollo in towel"), and perhaps tonight we might watch some more Lost.

About the only productive thing I've managed to do is get some bills paid. At this point, having slept most of the day, I'm mentally anxious to do something, anything, even if my body still feels sluggish and wants to stay in hibernation until the illness passes. Maybe I'll try to read. Or there's always Nethack!

Stupid flu.

awwww, poor thing! Well, at least you are catching up on some priceless Invader Zim ;)

I hope you start to feel better sweety. Maybe a good (they are all good!) GBS song is in quick order ;)

Huggle buggles.

Being ill sucks. My fever broke yesterday, and I managed to integrate the extra backstory that Chapter Four needed (not that I've reread it in the harsh light of day yet), but I failed to do so many other things I had planned.

Hope you feel better today.

I've had more energy so far today, though I've still got that cough and it still takes something out of me. I think I may try to venture out and buy some cough drops and Dayquil today so that I can try to go in to work tomorrow.

No writing, unfortunately, but I am now reading Hidden in Sight, the Julie Czerneda book I bought at NASFiC and got signed, and that's being a lot of fun, so!

Aww, thank you. :) Feeling somewhat better today, approaching normal in terms of mental energy, though the cough still takes something out of me. I've not been writing, but I'm reading the Julie Czerneda book I bought at NASFiC and that's being a lot of fun.

I'll probably try to venture out in a while and get cough drops and Dayquil to see if I can make it to work tomorrow.
