Another One Bites the Dust

Cough, sneeze, itchy eyes, fatigue. The days were adding up where I would hear another friend had the flu or showed signs of getting sick.

Knowing my immune system is not invincible, it was bound to happen to me but I did keep my fingers crossed.

I suffered through the weekend with congestion and sinus headaches as my immune system began to tumble down.

Work on top of stress from school are culprits in assisting the flu to find its way to me.

Monday morning I woke up and felt that a semi truck had run over me in my sleep.

The weight of the world felt as if I had been bench pressing unconciously.

Thankfully it was my day off so I wasted the day of being productive and slept through what felt to be just a few hours and ended up being sixteen hours.

Waking up did not make things worse but it certainly did not make it any better.

I had to miss work after seeing the doctor today. It turns out I have the flu. My chills, fever, and exhaustion were all strong indicators of the flu.

I was happy for another day of rest but I am regretting not working my shift knowing my bills will not pay themselves.

I feel so weak and defeated at the same time.

Hopefully my fever will break so I can get some sleep and start a new day tomorrow with work and school in my future.

Being sick was fun when I was younger because my mother would baby me, but living alone and being sick has no perks of being spoiled.
