I figured with all the swine flu hysteria, what better time than now to get sick.
So Thursday night, I started exhibiting all the classic symptoms of an oncoming cold. Said symptoms were brutal enough to prevent a good night’s sleep.
Therefore, Friday morning I was not surprised I felt like crap. Nor was I surprised when my loving wife told me I looked like shit. So I went to work.
Worked sucked. I made mid afternoon before I found an empty office space, crawled under a desk and slept hard for over an hour on a concrete floor. I awoke surprised. My cold had sprouted a fever and was starting to feel more and more flu-esque
Friday night Mrs. Snuphy caught me fetal on the couch in front of the tv, shivering under a blanket. She was surprised the tv was not on.
She accused me of having swine flu. I assured her that I did not feel death at my doorstep as the media has conditioned us to expect from pig ailments, and that I therefore was certainly not suffering from the dreaded ailment.
That’s about when she started telling friends and family that I was her swine with flu.
I don’t know if I had a bad cold or a mild flu. Regardless, I feel much better today. I’m hoping to get reacquainted with my console tonight, as it was extremely neglected last weekend.
Oh yeah. And to celebrate my survival, I grilled pork chuletas Sunday for supper.
