Incommunicado

I've been feeling sick since last Tuesday, and when I felt too sick to go to work this morning I decided to go to the student health center on campus. It took three hours, one round of blood work, and a lot of poking and prodding but in the end it was determined that I have the flu. I never found out if I have the pig flu or the people flu, but it doesn't matter, the flu, is the flu, is the miserable damn flu. I have a ten day supply of amoxicillin and doctor's orders to stay home from school and work tomorrow. Supposedly if I drink enough orange juice, eat enough chicken noodle soup, and sleep enough I'll get better this week. I'm just glad to know that my sleepless nights and feverish mornings will be ending soon. Until then, here's to the other couple of thousand people who also have the flue - you're not alone in your sick misery.
