Piggie flu...
I was talking to my boss this morning, and she mentioned that there has been a nearly-confirmed (they're 70% sure) case of swine flu in our office. She couldn't tell me who, because of HIPAA laws, but she said that those who had come in contact with him had been notified. Since I hadn't heard anything, that means I wasn't one who was in contact with him. But she said he'd been in her office, and I do visit her fairly regularly.
So she said if I felt feverish or anything, I was to go immediately to the doctor to be tested. Naturally, I immediately started checking to see if I felt warm or achy. I guess there's a little hypochondriac in all of us.
But I feel fine. I mean, apart from being dog tired from staying up too late playing LOTRO, and headachy from still sleeping with a comforter. It's still chilly the first part of the night, and I guess I don't move around enough to kick the covers off when it warms up after the sun comes up.

Hmm...if the tiredness lasts another day or two, get tested anyway; say you feel 'unusually tired', and let them take it from there.
It wouldn't be wrong, would it?
But right now you feel swine - er, fine - right?
glad you are enjoying your game - hope the flu scare leaves all of you unscathed.
Well, except that it's not "unusually" tired. I've been getting between 3 and 5 hours of sleep recently, and I didn't do well with that when I was young. :)
Unless it's a really nasty, pounding morning headache, I haven't been taking anything, because Excedrin has too much caffeine for morning consumption. And that's the only drug that works on headaches these days.
But if I feel feverish or achy or anything like that, I will go to the doctor immediately. I'm around too many people who don't need to be exposed to anything serious. Like my 82-year-old dad who is getting frailer by the month.
The weather today was fabulous! It was 85-ish when I walked to lunch today, which was kinda warm, but there was enough shade (and breeze) en route, that it was a very pleasant walk.
