jaunthie | Oh, ugh. Urgh. Bleh.

Have I mentioned that it's been a bad winter for illnesses running around the office?

Well, apparently the trend has continued on into spring. Monday I went into work feeling unusually tired, but then again, it had been a very busy weekend. But I kept feeling more tired, not less. And then the headache started. And I was cold.

And then my stomach started feeling upset. *Really* upset. And it was not helped when I had to take the elevator to another floor, and that elevator smelled like *vomit.*

Uh-oh.

I went home in the mid-afternoon, feeling lousy. By that night, it was official - either I'd eaten something "off", or I had some kind of stomach bug. I was hoping for the fomer, as it's not contagious.

Nope.

I was definitely sick, and stayed home on Tuesday. Several members of my extended team emailed in sick on Tuesday, down with the tummy bug. My editor came down with it Tuesday night. And I still wasn't 100% well by Wednesday. Much better, but not fully recovered - and that's when

fisherbear started to feel awful.

Yes, he got it too.

It has been a *very* long week. But we're both finally on the mend, more or less. And hopefully this is the LAST of the flus for a while.
