Back to work for me after an entire week off with the flu. Well, almost an entire week, I worked from home of Friday. I have learned a lot from having the flu and I would like to share it with you:

• The flu is a bitch. I have never felt as sick as I did on Monday/Tuesday. I could barely move. I am surprised that I was able to safely drive the 25 or so miles to the doctor on Tuesday.
• The flu can make you tired as hell or as awake as hell. More accurately, the flu makes you weak and tired and the medicine probably makes you not sleepy at all. An interesting mix.
• When you have the flu, people are scared of you. I got a lot of emails from people at work that said, ‘Hope you feel better, but don’t come anywhere near work.’ I guess people don’t want to get sick.
• The flu is an excellent diet. I am noticeably skinnier as people pointed out today at work. Bread, soup, and jell-o is the diet of champions. Really skinny champions. Maybe they play chess or something.

In summation, I would have to say that as much as I enjoy living alone, I was definitely glad to get out of this place for an extended period of time today. To celebrate my new health, I am going to have a bowl of soup for dinner. Have to maintain my weight for the upcoming pool season.
