I had a rough day yesterday. I felt flu symptoms coming on and did my best to fight them off. I am feeling better today, not great mind you but better. Here's what happened.

Got up, had breakfast, and headed to the client around 7:15. I left earlier than I needed to because the shuttle was going the other direction at 7:30. I would have had to wait until 7:45 or later for them to get back, or go earlier. Duh which choice I made. So I got to the client early and sat and waited until 8am. No biggie as I had stuff to watch. Got into the room, got setup, and as class started I was feeling a bit warm. I thought it was the lack of AC going in the room and didn't think much of it. First break hit around 10:45 and it just came over me. Aches, pains, headache. Boom. I spent the whole rest of the day trying not to pass out in front of my class. I was just dying on the inside. I managed to get through class but the walk back was hell.

When I got back to the hotel I had the shuttle drive me over to Walgreens. I spent like $50 on soup, juice, medicine, etc. I stocked the heck up. I am now good for the rest of the week and beyond. I don't know how I am getting the meds home as I got a giant thing of theraflu, but we shall see. I ordered up soup and a sandwich from room service so I could save my soup for lunches. I then took a healthy dose of drugs and got into bed around 8pm. I woke up around 11pm sweating through everything. I have the AC on at 68 and I was still burning up. But I think it's what I needed. I had to flush it all out of my system.

I am not taking any chances today and will pretty much repeat what I did last night to be safe. Just because I feel better today, doesn't mean I am better. It just means I am staying one step ahead. Got to keep that up.

I got my class some cupcakes on the way back also. I didn't get enough for the whole room, just my top students. Since I have no jump drives to give out yet, I needed something. I am debating to save some of the ones I got for my second group or get more tomorrow. No decision made yet. My boss sent an email to the team last night saying he is pushing for our salary increases this week. We shall see if that happens. That does mean that the extra money I got on my check was in fact due to changes in the tax law. Well, credit where credit is due. Good job on accomplishing ONE thing useful.

Breakfast soon, then another day of madness.
