Feeling like death

Oh.
My.
Gosh.

Having the flu sucks. I am so sick that I might even infect you as you read this post. I am THAT grossly ill, with mucus and tears and earaches and all aches and and and…. gah. I can hear out of 70% of my left ear but when I blow my nose, that number can go up or down depending on the fluids and pressures floating around in there. It feels cold when it’s warm and hot when it’s cold. It hurts to breathe, to speak, to eat. All I can muster is a drink of hot tea and even that is an ordeal.

And then a dysfunctional chat conversation with my brother…

DJ: i love the smell of fresh air and no flu
oh oops

me: i hate you
LIKE DEATH

DJ: oh well that’s nice i feel great too!
