The sickie thread
Anyone else taking a day off for incipient death?
I am and seeing the cat's not listening to my groan and grizzle, I thought I'd provide a place here for others to moan and grizzle (coz I know you lot won't listen either). See if we can make it an ongoing thread.
In my case, it's a virus that's knocked down three of us at work so far (including me). Twas crook yesterday and decided to buy a pie for lunch. Woke up feeling crap this morning. The lad then announces he's missed his bus (because he thought I was taking him to school) so I dragged myself out of bed ... and couldn't find the car keys. Yup, they were still in the ignition from yesterday with the ignition turned on so the battery was flat. Took the MG instead (top down) so now I feel like frozen crap.
Hmmph. The cat's just given me a disgusted look for being on the computer and stalked off.
Hope this is coherent, I really can't tell.

So I'm not the only one. It's too wet to work at the moment so I'm at home with the Dreaded Lurgy. Maybe I caught it across the forum from you

Rum, honey and asprin. Give her the honey and asprin, you drink the rum. After awhile, either her sore throat will be soothed or you'll no longer care
Jan just rang sounding like an old Morris Oxford with a forty piece bottom end and no muffler. Apparently I'M to blame for her condition and she wants to come around here, lie on my couch and be miserable where I can feel guilty about it ... either that or she just wants company (can anyone explain wimmens?)

just ducking out to buy some rum, that was a good idea

I'm on the improve but it's a relative term - my throat feels like it's coated with napalm. Did the right right and collapsed in a nearly mortal coughing fit while talking to the boss this morning. Fortunately (for my reputation at work), the other two at work who've been hit are still off too, and one of them has been off since mid last week.

Yikes, sounds like you've got it worse than me

These viruses tend to hit me hard but save the real venom for the recovery, almost as punishmnet for surviving. If things go as normal, I'll be coughing more and more (and more vigorously) and my vocal chords'll get coated with thick muck so I can't talk properly and cough even harder. In a few days, I'll be essentially better but sound and look the worst I've been all along
