SUPER RAT MACHINE WORKS

i guess i’ve never really had the flu before… until last tuesday that is. i came down with what i anticipated being the usual cold that leaves you feeling crappy for 24 hours. ohhh no, not this time. sure on day three i tried to talk myself out of it, tell myself i was feeling pretty good, i even got out of the house which seemed like a monumental event. only it was terrible idea. i felt like i was playing a video game and my reflexes were slim to none. i turned around and went back home. the flu takes all the worst symptoms and rolls it into one package. fevers, headache,sinus pressure/drainage, sore throat, feeling like you just got kicked in the kidneys all night by who knows what? oh ya, the inability to keep any solid food in my system. oh yes, the flu. had i gone to the clinic 2 days earlier i could’ve gotten the flu shot but i missed that window and now have to wait it out… so it’s day 6 and i’m just now begining to go through e-mails and try to get caught up. essentially everything that was going on in the shop has had to be moved back a few days. tomorrow is a new day though and i’ll surely drink another gallon of oj.
