This morning, actually all night long, I was dealing with the cold shivers, sweats, aches and misc. symptoms of the flu. I gave up on actually trying to work my way through it and sent this missive to my boss.

Ugggh, I've got it! The creeping assed, head pounding, joint aching, sneezing, sniffleing f'ing flu! I've been up since 3:00 AM trying to feel good enough to go to work but it ain't happening.

The only good thing about having a fever is all the freaky dreams you have and I had some doozies all night long! About 2:00 AM I woke up convinced that if I put some kleenexes in the trunk of my car I'd feel better. Yowzers! THAT was a weird one!

Anyway, I'm down and out for today at least. I'm going back to bed, pulling about 20 blankets over me, eating aspirins like breath mints, drinking fluids and pissing and moaning like a routeman. I figure the woman will cover my face with a pillow and off me before noon.
