This morning I woke up feeling pretty lousy. My head and nose were congested and my throat hurt. I chalked it up to allergies and post nasal drip, packed a bag of water and medicine and headed off to work.

As the day progressed I started feeling worse and worse. Now I’m full on sick with a completely aching body and chills adding to this morning’s symptoms. And I really need to sleep, but I can’t. Oh, and did I mention all this started *after* I got my flu shot?? So much for making it through the year without using a sick day.
