Yes, I am down and out for the count. Despite me having gotten the flu shot, I think I have the flu pretty bad! On Monday night I started to get a tickle in my throat and knew I was coming down with something. Thankfully with the help of some OTC drugs I slept through the night but woke up to my throat feeling like it was on fire. I decided to be a trooper and go to school, because as most teachers can attest to, it is harder to not be a school than it is to suck it up and be there. That was probably a bad idea, now that I look back on things. I got home around 4:30 on Tuesday (after stopping at the store for lemons, honey, and more OTC drugs) and went to bed. I slept pretty soundly Tuesday night. Wednesday. Yuck. Thankfully school was called due to bad weather. I threw up three times, ran a temperature of 100.8 to 102 all day, had the chills, slept on and off all day, and had no energy to even walk to the guest bedroom. I basically looked like death warmed over. Here it is Thursday. I was about to drive John to work (wiper blades aren't working on his truck, so he needs my car) then take myself to school to do sub plans when I got the call that our 2 hour delay was changed to another day off from school. I'm going to take my butt back to bed and hope to get this crap out of my system. I haven't felt this horrible in YEARS. Thank God for snow/ice days!!!!
