Ho hum. Got up yesterday, felt moderately awful, had recovered twenty minutes later so went to work anyway. Got up today, felt utterly horrible, went straight back to bed, and apart from crawling out briefly to email in sick didn't emerge until nearly noon.

Hot baths are very good when you're ill. They're the closest thing to still being in bed that also gets you clean.

Now I feel basically human, though still moving a bit slowly. Probably best if I stay on the sofa for the rest of the day and rest myself thoroughly rather than trying to make it back to work for the afternoon.

Hot baths++ for flu-type stuff. Sweat all the gunge out.

oh no, poor you

Hear, hear. Bitter experience has taught me not to push myself back to work too quickly; last year, I didn't properly beat the bug and it lingered, only to come back a fortnight later and lay me low for a week with tonsillitis.
