Blah

Have to write a reflection paper; it was due a week ago. Want, to sleep.

It's not even that I still feel awful; I'm no longer acutely ill. It's that walking half a block for breakfast tired me out.

I haven't had the flu since... maybe once since college. I don't remember the recovery being this tedious. My fever's gone and my brain is awake; but I have the energy of a slug.

I need to rest, but I've got so much catch-up work to do. Not only that, but when I was well, I asked to preach in chapel this coming Friday. Normally I love it--but I wish now, I hadn't.

Still sick

I'm over the fever--but I feel about as green as this background. I've been staying out of class for contagion's sake, as I still have the cough (and not much in the way of endurance). Lo and behold, I just threw up at lunch.

Luckily, I managed neither to run nor to make a mess. What dignity I have, I maintain. But I'm feeling wiped out all over again. Back to bed I go.

I've been out with the flu

...which in itself wouldn't have been that bad, if my normally-controlled asthma hadn't necessitated an ER visit on Saturday. They gave me a breathing treatment and all kinds of meds, and a flu culture, which came back positive. I'm feeling better now; nothing left but the cough, really. But though I'm out of school until the gunk leaves my lungs, I'm not off of it. And it's not like I did much, when I was feeling miserable.

Got some catching up and keeping up to do. I'll be scarce here for a little while.

Blessings on all of you. Stay well.
