Yuck

Oh my God, I feel like hell. I felt totally fine yesterday, minus the achiness from standing on my feet for 9 hours, but when I woke up this morning, I felt like crap. On my right side, my head hurts, my ear hurts, and my throat hurts. I think it may be because I sleep on my right side, because my left side feels fine. I'm also super achy, but I can't tell how much of that is from yesterday and how much of it is being sick. I only lasted 2 1/2 hours at work, and then came home. I have a small temperature of 100.0, so it's nothing too bad, but I think I may have the flu. Shit.

I haven't had the flu since I was about 17 years old, and I remember how shitty I felt back then, so I'm sure I'm in for a fun ride. The part that sucks the most is that I was just yesterday talking about how I never get the flu. A couple of ladies that I work with had it last week, and I declined a flu shot because I didn't think I'd get sick. I guess the joke's on me :).

Tonight, we're all supposed to be going to see Brian Regan, and now I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to go, which totally sucks. I don't want to waste the ticket, and it's probably too short of a notice to get anyone else to go, so maybe I'll just suck it up and go anyway. Besides, laughter is the best medicine, right :)?

ETA: Oh crap, I just took my temperature again 45 minutes later, and now it's 101.5!

Update

My family came over to pick Steve up to all go out to see Brian Regan, and they tried to convince me to go. Um, no. My dad made me take some ibuprofen, so my fever has gone down to about 100.6, but I still feel yucky otherwise. Part of me thinks that if I had taken the ibuprofen earlier, I would feel okay enough to go, and that may be true, but maybe not. I wasn't about to chance it either way.
