Sick Again

On Saturday during Marriage Prep when I started sweating and shivering uncontrollably, I was convinced that I had the flu, but I had no choice but to keep on going and conceal it. I even made it to work for most of my shift on Sunday, and left when it became clear I was no longer needed and couldn't have gone on even if I was. I confirmed I had a fever when I got in and stayed in bed the rest of the day.

This morning I woke up after a night of more fever-related discomfort and decided I could scratch today as I had no meetings booked or pressing issues. I called my doctor since I knew the boss would want a doctor's note, and she confirmed what I suspected: I have the flu. She informed me I should take the rest of the week off and I just laughed, noting I have to go in tomorrow. Hopefully I will look and feel a little better then and I won't give my colleagues anything I'm carrying. I must say, it's certainly nothing like the Norwalk last month, so I'm grateful I can at least muster the strength to get myself food and drink.

I think I've had my quota for the winter, now.
