Did I say flu?

Well, here I am, pretending I don't have flu, and noting the irony of my last post, where I spoke of the inevitability of flu. This is definitely the flu. Flu is the one where you're sitting there chatting and having a perfectly good time, and all of a sudden you feel like someone smacked you with a large bat. You ache all over, horribly, and then you go to bed for three days. It's unmistakable.

I would have to call this a mini-flu, though. I am able to minimize that steamrolled sensation by swallowing lots of tylenol and advil simultaneously. And then I'm almost normal again. I had the flu two years ago (and, like this time, I had had the danged flu shots and got it anyway!), and that was perfectly miserable--this is nothing like so bad. So maybe that flu shot did some good after all?
