Flu. Boo. :( →[More:]

You may now use this thread to complain about anything you'd like. I'm complaining about having the flu in fucking mid-September.

Ah Boo.

You may not be alone there. My neckel region glands have been sore for a week now. :(((

YIKES.

They haven't even started the flu shots here as far as I'm aware... but I think I'll call tomorrow and find out.

It is not the flu.
It is fluid possession by demons or accidental incidental exposure to secret testing of the Tesla's death ray.
Either way, lots of fluids.

Pee it out,
Piss out,
Waaaaay out!

Boo!

I am feeling generally stressed out and run down, and I think I may be allergic to Central California. Or at least, to late summer in Central California. I've been sniffly and scratchy and coughy since I got here.

I have a cold. I also have a debate tournament this weekend, and a hundred or so pages of Nietzsche to read before Tuesday. BAH.

Hubby has a bad cold. I have felt a bit cruddy the last three days myself. Tonight will be the third night I sleep on the couch-but I have to kick my husband off it and back to bed first (he's watching tv.)

I AM sleeping in in the morning.

I'm printing an exam for my students and it's taking FOREVER. My kingdom for a copier.

Hope y'all feel better. :(

stupid swimmer's ear hurts like a m*therf*cker.

But I'd rather that than the flue. Sorry, mudpup :(

At work the other day...

The guy who sits opposite me was doing that nasal-gargling thing with the snot in his nose, all day.

The guy to the right of me was wracked with coughing, all day.

The guy to the left of me was sneezing and snuffling, all day.

THE INFECTED ARE APPROACHING ON ALL SIDES! I NEED A CHAINSAW SO I CAN CARVE MY WAY OUT!

Flu! bah! Well, get it done early so you're not suffering later in the year.

I have pink eye - bleeagh!

TheophileEscargot:

chainsaws are not what you want. too messy and unreliable thus I am uploading a flamethrower.

kill it with fire, it's the only way to be certain.

*makes large pot of chicken soup and drinks some emergen-C, just in case*

*makes huge batch of chicken & wonton soup, sends it to everyone with extra soft blankies, boxes of kleenex, a collection of cheesy movies on dvd, and a little thingy of chili oil for those who like their sick-day soup on the spicy side*

posted by elizard 19 September | 12:21

Note: The chili oil is not for the kleenex. Really. Trust me on this one.

Hehe, flamethrower and chicken soup, the essentials of any survival plan...

posted by TheophileEscargot 19 September | 13:10

Thanks, elizard, I've had this cold for 3 weeks. The part that's left is the rundown, draggy, coughing, coughing, hacking and coughing part. mmmmm, chicken soup and cheesy movies.
