I have the flu and it is miserable. 

I never just get sick and get over it. That would be far too easy, no instead I get sick and stay that way for months. Not all the same sickness, no, it’s always different things.

My latest illness, the flu, is not the first thing to hit me. First I got food poisoning. This pretty much took all of the energy I had and threw it out the window. After a weekend on the couch I was no longer “sick” but was still exhausted. I’m in college and so there was no time for me to sleep and rest up. I was already behind on my massive to do list.

A few days with less than 5 hours of sleep gave me some pretty nasty headaches. Although I felt miserable, again no time for sleep I’m in college.

This week was midterms and to my delight the headeaches disapeared. But then I came down with the flu. This is a really nasty flu. The kind that makes every muscle in your body feel like it was tied into a knot and then beaten with a hammer. And the cough that comes with it is awful. When I cough in public people look at me like I’m going to die any second.

So here I sit. Aching, coughing, sneezing, and shaking the day away.
