My good peasant stock failed me

[lesbiassparrow]

I have spent the past 3 days in the grips of flu. I have slept abut 18 hours a day, surfacing like some groggy monster to watch an hour of TV and then staggering back to bed. As someone who comes from excellent peasant stock I rarely get ill and when I do I am always deeply offended at the health gods.

Now to watch TV for a bit and stagger back to bed. I have to teach tomorrow, woes... Hopefully I don't fall asleep in mid-lecture.

ETA: Hey, my 2 hours of wakefulness coincided with Community! I haven't had the chance to watch that in ages.

That level of exhaustion is almost scary when it hits. Feel better soon. ::hugs::

It certainly made me want to buy a nice couch.* It would vary my sleeping arrangements a little...

*All I have are inadequate chairs to curl up in.

Yuck! Feel better soon.

Thanks. It's an awful lot better this evening. I really hope you don't catch this one. Unless you want to hibernate for days.

Oh, that sucks! Sorry your peasant system let you down. At the very least try to infect others tomorrow! :D

I'm giving back homework and quizzes tomorrow in one class. I shall enjoy watching them shrink back from it as I hand it out.

I hope you're feeling better soon. And have I recommended elderberry to you? It's amazing, take it as a tea, or other methods, it really works.

PS. I am not a doctor and I do not play one on TV. ;)

I have no tried Elderberry, so I plan to next time I get sick - I love Elderberry cordials so even if it doesn't work I will still be a happier person. :)

I use the tea, the pills and lozenges with zinc. It really is amazing stuff. I gather that based on the research about it's anti-viral anti-bacterial properties, many more products are coming on the market. I had the first cold symptoms starting on this past Monday and they were gone by Thursday morning....which astonished even me. ;)

Oh noes! Please get better soon!

I can relate to the feeling of betrayal very well - I am also very rarely ill, but it always strikes when I am far away on romatic holidays or somethin of the sort.

I am feeling much better now - yay for peasant recovery! And yes on getting sick at rotten times - I once got sick on a trip to Italy and me and the person I was with were totally miserable until we discovered the wonder drug that is asperina. I am convinced that stuff could cure plague.

I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

Feeling so much better now - thanks! :)

*hugs* It is now the weekend, so you will have two more days of rest to help you get over the flu. (I must say that it would be amusing if you did fall asleep in the middle of your lecture. I wonder if any of your students would wake you up...)

I am feeling a lot better now, even if I am contemplating going to bed at 9. But that is because I was up till 3 last night and had to get up at 8. Woes!
