The Flu

I have the flu.

I woke up puking. Actually, I woke up coughing my head off and I am not sure if I started puking because I was coughing so hard or if I was coughing so hard because I needed to puke. I have a fever, I have the chills, my head and nose are completely stopped-up, and I feel like total shit.

So, I am sending someone to the store to grab me some medicine and then I am kicking the receiver off the hook, crawling beneath the covers, and sweating it out. And whining. And maybe puking some more.
