It finally got me
Mar. 6th, 2025 06:22 pmOn Monday, I spent about three hours shut in a room with someone. On Tuesday, she told me she tested positive for flu type A. On Wednesday, I had that telltale "I think my throat is sore" all day followed by full body, wracking shivers all night. Like painful shivering. Took ibuprofen, which was all I had on hand, and it helped but not much. Went to work today, Thursday, and made it about two hours and then had to amscray back to the sofa.
Tried to stay there all day, but W had me out walking nearly four miles. I had taken cold and flu meds, but halfway through they crapped out on me. Sometimes I make poor choices, but I have also found that I recover from things faster if I keep moving a bit. I am NOT doing my cardio or strength training, though. And to make it all the more miserable - hormone headache has been draining me all week.
This thing is nasty, is my point. Stay healthy, y'all. I thought maybe I could make it to work tomorrow but... yeah, no. Headache and body aches always seem liveable until you're up and about for a minute.
I should eat, but I have absolutely no appetite and last night I also had some intestinal upset. So, pass on that as well.
And then today when I was okay enough to be semi upright I have been reading about the increasing instances of avian flu in cats so now I'm fretting about that!
