Outbreak

Last week in our office there were maybe 2 people, that will remain nameless for fear that the world would kill them for causing the modern plague, that were sick in my office. So I can only speculate that over the weekend while watching the superbowl everyone started to feel this super virus invade there bodies, because everyone is out sick. I had already planned on taking off Monday because I needed a day off and because the drywall guy was coming to fix our basement. I did not know that my husband would also be off that day when I planned this or I probably wouldnt have taken off, well I say that because I didnt forsee me getting sick. I had been working on a project long hours with a guy at work who was sick so I assumed that my body had made anitbodies and beat this cold before I even saw any signs of it. Well I was wrong, way wrong. Friday on my way to Dallas, TX with my husband, yes a 10 hour road trip, I began to notice that my head, and eyes were hurting and my body felt like I had ran a marathon. My legs, knees, and back were so sore and restless that I knew I was getting something. We even stopped at "the Wall" to get me a massager that I could sit on with heat and everything. We made it to Dallas at 1am and went to bed. The next morning I didnt feel any better. Aside from the cough and constant blowing of my nose I was fine. We did some sight seeing in Dallas, the I.M. Pei architecture and J.F.K. Memorial. That night I was gross. Sunday on the way back from Dallas I wasnt much help on sharing my driving responsibilities. I think I drove from Little Rock to Memphis or something like that. Sunday night was a constant buring up with fever to freezing chills throughout the night. I slept with my head hanging over the edge of the bed with a humidifier blowing on my face all night. Monday I sat on the couch most of the day. So today I am back at work and blaming those un-named employees for my pain and suffering. Lots of people missed work yesterday and today because of these guys they should be punished.
