Adenoviruses

When the doctor said, “It’s not the H1N1 virus, not the flu, but a virus of some kind,” I assumed he meant I had a cold virus but that he knew I would cough in his face if he told me that.

I am greatly comforted to know that there are viruses similar to the cold virus that can KILL you.

I had to take off work Friday and skip the trivia night. I do not have time for this! I slept thirteen hours last night! I keep posting photos, you know I am sick.

=====================================

At lunch Thursday with Steve from work at Gulf Shores, where I had catfish. Lovely meal; yet Friday night in bed I sat up and thought, “I ate that catfish with my fingers! What was I thinking?”

=====================================

Friday morning I decided I wasn’t going in. Later that morning Gary (who is on vacation), asked if I’d called in. “They’ll figure it out,” I croaked, and then a few minutes later heard him telling my bosses’ voice mail, “Ellen’s too sick to come in, in fact she’s too sick to come to the phone.” Just a little extra added touch of drama.

  1. Gary’s right, you ARE sick, much too sick to work! Good for you, finding a squirt of energy to write a post. Now go back to bed and get better.

Comment, even if you aren’t on WordPress. Make up a name. Fine by me.
