Sicker than a dog
My goodness, I'm feeling low. Ever get to the point where you're so sick your legs can't even support your body weight?

prolly a bit of both.
I was coming down with this on Saturday night, it hit me pretty good Sunday afternoon, and hit me full force later in the day Monday.

Isis has been real sick with a bad cold which has given her a terrible sore throat. I feel like crap today too.
The one year everyone is short on Flu shots....we'll probably end up with some world epidemic.

All I know is that I'm dressed up in a bazillion layers of clothes and can't stop shivering.

That doesn't sound too good Duke! You may as well get all your cold remedies together and be ready to call in sick at work.
Just rest......

I took today off actually and am napping as much as I can.
My head feels not as bad as yesterday but my eyes hurt, I'm freezing cold, hungry but can't eat, and restless.

If it's the same thing as going around here....it's a good 'feel like crap' 3-4 days....if not longer.
I have company coming early evening...and have court tomorrow morning....other than that....I'll try to be on the site to make sure no one needs anything.
Just REST and don't worry about it. Of course...if you are like me...you would have to have both arms fall off before you wouldn't be online....and even then you would figure out how to type with a pencil in your mouth. HAHA!

Typing isn't the problem, moving around is and getting restful sleep is a big challenge as well.

Tylenol PM's are good for that.

I may have to try them if I don't get some quality sleep tonight.

What is this, a Forum Flu?  I hope you all feel better soon. Good luck with the court, Merika. I'll be thinking of you.

I've been as sick as a dog last week-end. I had a project presentation on Monday and went wearing...a skirt! 6°that morning.
Thanks Lord I was taking pills, or else I know it would have come back!
Duke, you must rest. Buy a whole library, drink lots of very hot teas, read and stay in bed!

I kept sending my daughter to school and just picking her up early. She isn't going to get better though if she has to keep getting up at 5:30 am to face the wind and cold. Tomorrow, she is staying home.
Same with you Duke. You won't get well if you keep pushing yourself. If you feel bad....stay home and rest....or this thing will hang on too long!
