What would you expect? It's the flu!
My reality: It goes without saying you are going to sneeze, cough, and groan a lot. You are going to drink lots of fluids and curse the germ that made you so miserable. You won't enjoy that you have a day(s) off work because you feel like shit.
Advice: Lots of juices, other fluids, tissue, and comfortable bedding
My reality: You'll wish you had the foresight to buy ice cream at the grocery store for that sore throat instead of all those apples or that you had prepared chicken soup instead of that megabean chili.
Advice: Comfort food. You won't want to eat all those high fiber foods!
My reality: My cats have never experienced even a cold during their lives with me so I've had lots of laughs when they jump every time I sneeze and when they give me the "evil eye" when I wake them while trying to find a comfortable position. They are catching on; now, only their heads pop up every time I breath in right before a sneeze.
Advice: Enjoy your time with your animals. They are good cuddlers and will bring you a sense of wellbeing.
My reality: I didn't feel like reading so I spent today watching Woody Allen movies, specifically Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Hannah and Her Sisters. These are three outstanding films about relationships and about Allen's New York. Below is a video from the opening of Manhattan, enhanced by George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
Advice: If you feel like watching television, make it worthwhile by watching some really good films. Don't watch bad commercial movies like Marley and Me. That dog was an asshole. A bad movie will just make you feel worse!
Feel better! Wash your hands!

Judi, you come up with the best posts...even when you're sick! I hope that you are feeling better...being sick is terrible. I agree with you about the dirty looks that cats give you when their sleep/comfort is interrupted. You can almost hear them say "Stop sneezing, stop moving, just lie still!" The best is when they have finally had enough and just leave - but not without casting a very dirty look your way! :)
Get Well Soon!
Poor thing!
I always watch old black and white movies when I'm sick. It's a tradition.
Missy - Thanks. I've not really wanted to do much of anything, just lie around to moan and groan:)
Pam - When I don't feel well I like to find those films I've seen so often that I can just listen to them and know what is going on.
