Flu

It's sad that when you finally get a break from work, you feel like death.  I've been needing to just escape from those I work around everyday,  but I didn't want to be a lump on my sofa the whole time I was escaping.  My throat has felt like somebody took a match, an over sized one at that, and lit it and stuck it down my throat.  My tonsils felt like two eggs hanging out in the back of my mouth.  Breathing for a while was somewhat difficult and took a lot of thought when eating.  Why must the flu attack and give you time off work instead of a nice tropical island attack and give you time off work? 
I normally am the type though, to not get sick often, but when I do, it's intense.  I didn't just have pneumonia in 7th grade, oh no.  It had to be DOUBLE pneumonia.  And I didn't just get a normal sore throat from working my voice too much in chorus in high school.  Something so bizarre went on with my tonsils and throat that my doctor didn't even know what to call it or how to treat it.  And it was reoccurring at that! So it only makes sense that I get the flu that is the kind that they can only give you cough syrup and tell you to go home and wait it out.  At least loading up on ibuprofen helps numb the throat some, but still, as I said before, if I'm gonna have a break from work, I want it to be something splendid.  Not awful. =[
