H1N1 Whaaaaa?

Ok. I am SO not in the mood to listen to the H1N1 rhetoric, conspiracy theories, potential cures etc... Why? Because I'm sick. Do I have H1N1? Probably. I didn't get my H1N1 shot, so the chances are pretty good that I do, perhaps have the H1N1 flu. I have many of the symptoms: cough, headache, body aches, lack of appetite...so, it is pretty apparent that I might (or might not) have H1N1 (or the regular old' flu, or a bad cold or something else altogether). I also heard that somebody who attends the same college as me had the H1N1 virus, so, you never know... And at the University where I work, I overheard someone talking about some people who might have the flu virus --probably H1N1, -- which means that, if they have it, then anybody could get it, and you know what that means don't you? No?



It means that I'm sick.


It means that, regardless of what I have, I need to stay home in my warm fuzzy PJs.


It means that I need to keep my nasty little germs to myself and try my best to NOT spread them around.


It means that I have to find better things to do with my sick time than panicking over whether I have H1N1.


It means that I get to sleep, read good books, sleep, eat chicken noodle soup, sleep, drink tea and eat cough drops like they're candy and sleep.


At this point in time, it really doesn't matter WHAT I am sick with...the fact remains that I am sick. End of story.


All I need to do now is get better.


H1N1 be damned. I'll worry about you again when I'm well.
