UGH. I am so bummed. Despite getting a flu shot less than a month ago, somehow I am coming down with (apparently a different strain of) the flu. Having recently watched Contagion, I feel acutely aware of the transmission of disease, and how I probably caught it (hard not to blame a fellow passenger on Muni). Which doesn't help -- every singe neck pain is now my brain shutting down, every cold sweat is my last one. So I'm off to feed my cold/starve this fever. Wish me luck! And have a great weekend.
