Explaining the tumbleweeds
I'd had a busy weekend planned for site over this weekend; roll off a couple of posts1 (as opposed to shorts), maybe start work on a redesign, and sort out a load of backend stuff which I've been putting off. Yep, I was prepped, rearing to go… and it all came to a screaching halt as that ever friendly guest influenza decided to pay a visit.
After years of being able to avoid its notice, it decided that it has been too long and came round with its friends in tow. Headaches, fatigue, sore throat, coughing, nasal congestion, body aches; crap, I felt like crap. I keep getting reassured that hopefully I should start getting through the worst of it soon but with my brain at this moment still feeling like mush, all I hear is throb, throb, throb as my head pounds incessently only to be interrupted by another round of coughing2.
So why am I posting? Well, I'm hoping someone can give me advice on how to get rid of this annoying guest quickly. The rational part of me is telling me that as flu is a virus3, the only thing I can do is get rest, water and let my body recover; my body however, is yelling "Help". And right now, my body is louder.
- I've got a clutch of half finished drafts at the moment. [back]
- Oh and thanks again to whoever it was who decided to share his pain with me. Grrrr….. [back]
- Grrr…. why is it that we can get a man into space, crack open a chest and still can't do anything against flu… [back]

Drink lots of warm milk with honey in it.
Hope you’ll get well soon!
You are right on with the rest and fluids. I’m with you though. I hate being sick. Hope it doesn’t last too long.
Thanks guys for the kind words.
Still feeling like crap though it’s a bit better than yesterday. I’m probably going to continue to staying off the PC for as much as I can over the next couple of days though.
