2. it's a bug that is going around
it really sucks. it's not got a lot of congestion like the flu, instead it makes you have aches all over, feel tired and run down, have headaches, and have a fever.

thanks :(

7. I think I got what you have
except I have one runny nostril...the other one is clear. Had to pop a few Ibprofens at work to deal with the achiness and could barely keep my eyes open today. I figured I was just tired because I was at a concert last night but I got a good night's sleep and it doesn't really explain the stuffy nose.

and I have to be in at work at 9 tomorrow...boo!!!!

13. you feel better too...
I'm actually surprised I was able to drive home today because I literally feel like I've been walking around in a fog all day. I can't tell if I have a fever though...I'm hot right now but it's like 70 and humid which is also really bizarre this time of year

8. Jon and I have been fighting scratchy throats the past few days,
Hoping it doesn't get any worse. I've been hearing that there's a pretty bad cold/flu out there.

Hope you feel better soon. :)

14. Flu season seems to have started early this year.
We had one going around my job for a while... a nasty slow two-week-long flu. When I caught it I was hoping that it wouldn't have lasted as long as everybody else since I'm one of the few non-smokers there, and smokers tend to have longer colds and whatnot than non-smokers do... nope. Mine lasted just as long. And it started out with a nasty 24-hour stomach flu that morphed into the head cold type flu. Only it wasn't just 24 hours, it was like 34.
