I give up, I'm sick

    After a week plus of roller coaster symptoms and complete hoarseness, the fever finally hit me yesterday, and I am officially sick. Had to call in sick, so the little algebrators and geometers get to annoy a sub all day instead of me. And I did all the right things for the LAST MONTH: flu shot, took lots of vitamins, immunity boosters, liquids and rest. So much for nothing. I'm using the day in bed to study for my Properties midterm tomorrow night (the not so hidden blessing, I'm sure). I'm bugged more by the fact that I am supposed to board a flight midnight Friday night for an exotic destination for two weeks of rest, a consistent .05% BAC, and no case books, or papers to grade. Hope I feel better by then. Shoshana

    Sorry to hear the bug got you too, Shoshana. There's A LOT of that going around right now.

    I heard that the flu vaccine doesn't fight the most virulent influenza strain that emerged this year. So sometimes the best we can do is rest and give ourselves the chance to fight it.

    Just keep hoping for the paradise -- I mean the really nice vacation. Maybe you'll rebound in a couple days.

    Thanks everyone, lots of Progresso chicken soup (with curry from the spice rack), tea with honey and totties consumed. I still have a slight fever, but it's out of the triple digits. My dog kept me company all day (except for when he was trying to attack the gardner). Still no voice, but my silence may be a good thing. Back to the Rule Against Perpetuities. Shoshana
