Influenza

It's amazing how quickly sickness can come down on you. Wednesday night as I got ready for bed, I began coughing slightly. No big deal, the air is really dry in our house. Thursday morning I had to pop some ibuprofen to make it to work. My Thursday afternoon I had all the flu symptom: body aches, congestion, temperature, dry-cough. Check, check check. Friday went by in a blur as I had to talk myself out of bed to even get a drink of water or use the restroom. Today, I'm feeling a bit better, but have no energy. There are several things I had planned for today, namely, the Nebraska caucus. There are some things in life that kind of blindside you and make you feel helpless. Influenza has got to be one of the worst!
