I have the flu

Well, okay, not THE flu. I have a flu. I felt like I'd been hit by a truck on Friday after work, then after dinner it affected me intenstinally, and by Saturday morning I couldn't move. Everything hurt. I couldn't stand up without getting dizzy and nauseated. I had a fever of 101. Food was not possible. I slept the entire day. Sunday wasn't much better.

I just got back from the doctor and he confirmed that it isn't THE flu. But I'm likely still contagious and shouldn't go to work. He thinks I should stay home through Wednesday. Wednesday! Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, Thursday is curriculum night, and I have training all day Thursday. This is the WORST week to be out sick. The worst.

How ridiculous and ironic that I have the flu when the flu has caused a world-wide panic. Freakin' ridiculous. And inconvenient. And yucky.
