10 Things I have learned from having the flu...

1. Nothing you eat once you've had a Halls Menthol-Eucalyptus cough drop will ever taste the same again no matter how long ago you had the cough drop.

2. When you can't taste anything, cottage cheese is just an experiment in texture.

3. No amount of lotion can make your nose feel any better after you've blown it 100, 000 times.

4. Flamin' Hot Cheetohs really do clear your sinuses.

5. Robitussin cough syrup makes everything that comes out of your body smell like Robitussin cough syrup.

6. Maury Povich is a dick.

7. There's a limit to the amount of daytime television any one person can take before completely losing their mind.

8. Cats don't like it when you blow in their face.

9. Regular coke is the only thing you can taste when you have the flu and, therefore, truly is the elixir of the gods.

10. Making homemade chicken soup seems like a good idea at the time but you don't realize how off your sense of taste is until a day or two later when it comes back and you realize that you have basically created a salt saturated congealed mess of noodles and too much garlic.

I went to work today for two hours. That's all I could handle. Turns out there is a mini-epidemic of this flu going on. Fifteen other people were out today and I sent two more home before I left for the day. Everyone keeps saying "You should have gotten a flu shot!" Well, guess what! I did! In October... sheesh.

I'm going back to bed now.
