On Mondays I typically work until 5:30 then drive across town for a 6:30 aikido class. Between class, traffic and the ferry schedule I'm usually home by 9:00.

But yesterday I felt some serious slowing down by 2:00 and decided that perhaps working the convention this weekend had taken more out of me than I allowed for. So I left work early, skipped class (sniff), and was home by 5:30.

Now I'm really glad I was cautious as I woke up this morning with a nagging cough, a very sore throat, and a general feeling of bone aching weariness. It may even be time to stop reading email and go back to bed. But I'm not sleepy!

Sorry to hear you got the crud – get well!

There has been a real outbreak of something. At work 80% of the people got sick during the past 6 weeks including two who were out for over a week with bronchitis and one with full blown case of phenomena. The coughing around here made it sound like a TB ward. I got off rather lightly with two days of sore throat and two weeks of cough.

Feeling better yet? I had something weird whack me between the eyes Monday-after-work (which means Tuesday). It was flu-like achey and sensitive skin and chills, but nothing upper-respiratory. I wrapped up in my big bathrobe, watched The Golden Compass and slept as long as the dogs would let me.

Wasn't there when I got up. Quite a relief. But I'm taking more Vitamin C to be sure.
