Doesn't it figure- I've worked my hind end off this past week to accrue as much overtime as possible. And here I am two days from the end of the pay period with a fever, stuffy nose, ear ache and sore throat!! Can't eat, can't sleep- can't even swallow the coffee that makes me feel so much better! Grrrrr.

Well, the good news is that, since my employer doesn't pay sick days- I've already made up my hours that I'll miss today with this darn bug!

So sorry those pesky germs got you! I just got over a 3wk germ-fest myself.

Get as much rest as you can, and I hope you are feeling better soon!

Excellent planning. You've worn down your resistance with all the overtime, and now are wearing down your excessive funds by paying the predictable price for having a lowered resistance.

I am just now recovering from a sore throat (couldn't even talk) and horrible coughing...don't know where it came from either.....
