Sometimes the only way to understand just how much something sucks is to BREAK IT DOWN. (cue music) So, here is my flu bug, by the numbers:
Number of times I took my temperature: greater than 20 but less than 100.
Number of times I had a fever: greater than 20 but less than 100. (actually, it was just all day Sunday and Monday)
Number of times said coughing/sneezing led to a pj bottom change: infinity
Number of laundry loads to wash the pj bottoms: four
Number of dogs snuggling with me until the coughing scared her: one
Number of "America's Next Top Model: Cycle 12" I listened to while in flu coma: eight?
Number of football games I missed enjoying: two (okay, there were only two being played that day)
Number of pounds lost: 6.2 (Seriously)
Number of times I went on Facebook while in the midst of flu coma: one. People. This says it all. ONE time on FB in a two day period. Yowza.
Number of times a coworker called/texted me for something apparently only I could answer: Grrrrr. (lost track)
Number of coworkers who have suffered same affliction to date: three
Number of days it's going to take to get back to normal? Still counting folks. This thing is a $%@&*!!
But, at least I'm back to being able to blog, gossip on Facebook, put together a rational thought, and food is finally starting to look appetizing. I can only imagine how mad my Wii Fit Trainer is going to be since I've been "gone" so long.
I wonder if she'll accept a note from a doctor?
My sincere apology that I left off an important item: Number of guys who took care of me, got me medicine, waited on me, listened to me moan, cleaned up my spilled water, put up with all the times I changed my drawers, and bought the best Popsicles ever: ONE very special guy. xxx

Sorry you've been under the weather. Hope recovery is around the bend. I think a few more jammie days and some crossword puzzles may be just what the doctor ordered.
Was it Swine or regular flu? Sounds horrendous. So i guess you won't be joining us for drinks after the soccer tonite!
Aww...feel better! There's never anything trashy on when I want it, so glad you had ANTM to keep you company.
Oh, this was even more awful than I imagined. Take your time getting better. Don't rush back to work before you are ready. You don't want to be exposed to those germs again!
