    Update, I thought I was having surprise bathroom time at 3:00 am from drinking whiskey during a poker party, but now, 12 hours later I've got full body chills. Not as bad as what Ray is describing, but a bad omen nonetheless. Will this be the first time Irving contracts the flu? Stay tuned!

    I hope that you feel better soon.

    The last week of Nov and the first week of Dec I was fighting off something??. Felt OK in the morning, by 2 PM I would get a fever, take aspirin, finish the work day, go home and ingest Alka-Seltzer cold and flu and a shot of whiskey and go to bed. Repeated this every day for almost two weeks. It sucked as I don't get sick very often.

    As mentioned, the head cold has turned into a hacking, chest-heaving, dry cough.

    I immediately felt better after a shot of bour... medicine. If one is good, two must be better.

    Just remember.... alcohol amplifies the effects of medicine....not sure if it's a warning, a challenge, or user instructions...

    Why is it?

    Take meds, get tired, feel like shit, go to bed early, cough/hack til 0200. Finally, coughing stops and I start to drift off to sleep. But, wait... What's that noise? Why is Scout (little boy Corgi puppy) coughing, too? Oh, because he's not. He just hopped up on the bed to say, "Ha-rumpa, ha-rumpa....bleeech. See, dad? I'm sick, too!"

    So, already feel like warmed over death, doing laundry at about 0300, cleaning up after sick dog, make a cup of coffee using one of those pod things and forget to put cup under coffee dispenser... FML today, man.

    Naturally, Mrs BG is working a nite shift so I don't even get to share the misery with her.

    At least you weren't so out of it that you woke up.

    Update: Day 5: Got almost 3 hours of sleep. Fever down to 99. took no drugs after 0330. Hacking up what looks like chunks of road tar, but feel much better. Can't decide if the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight, or merely an oncoming train.
