COME FEEL ME TREMBLE

Hate to waste such a provocative-sounding title on something as trival as this, but it's all I had that fit my state today.

OMG, whatever you do, DON'T get this bloody flu bug that's making it's rounds. Wear a face mask, latex gloves, a freakin' bio-hazard suit if you have to. I had had a scratchy throat and a little cough for a few days. Then last night in the shower, out of nowhere I thought I was going to pass out. Hurried and got out of there. And in the next half hour or so I thought I might die. I won't go into the pretty details, but I've never sweat and shook like that in my life. And my stomach felt like something like an alien baby might erupt at any time. Needless to say, I reported off work and slept and sweat alternately all night long. Opted for tea and toast a little while ago and am praying that wasn't a mistake. I'm totally famished and I want to eat a five-course meal. Am still rather shaky and have a pounding headache but otherwise feel much better. Like I said, avoid this thing at all costs.

Would love to write something cheerful and funny, but the head will not permit.
