Sick even unto death.

I have been talking about this a lot on Twitter, to the point that I figured everyone knew, but apparently, I was wrong. So:

I am sick. Like really, really sick. Like "missing a week of work, barely getting out of bed, too exhausted to deal with anything" sick. I caught the flu. And yes, I got my flu shot. It's not a magic bullet; it just increases resistance and sometimes decreases the severity of the flu itself. Well, if that's the case, I'm damn glad I got it, because I think I'd be dead now without it.

This is a bad, bad flu season. Take care of yourselves. And please, please, don't pressure me for fast responses to anything. I am too sick to die, and you may have to wait longer than usual for an answer.

Feel better soonest. Let the cats be your bed warmers. And have an icon of a pretty dwarf to look at.

And yeah, the flu is super scary this year. I got my shot back in late September and so far, *knocks wood* so good. I've urged everyone at work to get it but I suspect one co-worker will be out sick soon with it. Which means several others will follow since they didn't get the shot. I really hope for their sake I am wrong though. :(
