But sometimes, you have to fake it to make it and just step out the door. I took some daytime cold medicine before I left my apartment and now I just feel kinda sick at work vs. really sick at work because I'm doing stuff and can't really focus on being sick.
I'll probably feel crappy again as it gets to later afternoon and get home, but at least I'm not just sitting like a turd in my apartment watching shitty daytime TV.
I just went through a bout of the flu that lasted well over 2 weeks. There's an epidemic here with older people clogging up the hospitals, some even dying from it. Really bad. Hope it's "only" a cold and not the flu.
It's really bad. The guy who organizes our annual Easter-weekend hockey tournament just lost his 10-year old nephew to the flu, and that's the not the only one I've heard of.
