I'm usually pretty healthy and don't get sick often. I don't know if it's good genes or getting the flu shot every year but often times I skate through the flu season unharmed.

Not this year and it was a doozy.

Woke up Tuesday morning and felt a little achy but nothing too abnormal and headed off to work. About half way there, I knew something was wrong so turned around. Crawled back into bed just in time to start 36 hours of "fun".

Never did throw up, but just felt completely exhausted and wiped out, but so achy I couldn't lay still long enough to fall asleep. If I did sleep, it was for 45 minutes and then it started all over. I've eaten 3 crackers in the past 48 hours now and I think I'm just about over it, but we will see.

First time in my career I've had to take 2 sick days in a row.

If someone in your office looks under the weather, RUN the other direction. This year's flu isn't playing around!
