That's usually what it does. I don't get sick often but I recently got hit with the flu for one weekend. Slept it off.

I'll bet 20 bucks you'll be fine in 24 hours.

as opposed to taking you out to dinner and courting your for a while before putting you down?

Lots of OJ. Lots of rest. Tylenol or some other fever reducer. Give it a cpl days, you'll be fine.

No drinky no smokey mm-kay?

I had the flu 2 weeks ago. I slept for like 30 hours straight, and felt like crap for a week. Finally lost the cough a couple of days ago.

I always smoke when I'm sick...

Yeah. That's what happens. Just comes out of nowhere. Thankfully, it tends to be fairly short lived and just gets better as quickly as it comes on.

I once even went to work with flu once; Friday, my last day, came and I felt a bit coldy. Then in the afternoon, my new boss rings, "er.. I know you're supposed to start Monday, but we're a bit stuck. Can you start tomorrow night 21:00?".
Not wanting to leave a bad impression, the reply came, "No problem".

Saturday night I was feeling not too bad. At least that was how I felt when I went to work. But over the next 6 hours, out of nowhere, comes a raging fever (over 104), chills, coughing up thick blood-laced crap, and I feel like there are badgers trying to tear their way out of my chest. There's the added problem that I couldn't stand up either, because I saw stars and felt all dizzy. Somehow, I made it through the night, with only one minor injury from keeling over and hitting my head on something. 09:00 came, and I was out the door as fast as I could go (which wasn't very fast), stopping only to say, "I won't be back tonight".

36 hours later, and I was fine. Although the intervening period wasn't terribly pleasant. Lots of fluid, and alternating doses of tylenol/advil every 3 hours.

I'd make FUN of you FOR randomly capitalizing ALL of the letters IN the word flu, but you're sick so I'll GIVE you a PASS. Feel BETTER.

Sense of humor? Sense of anything?
