What the HELL was that all about?!

So yesterday morning I woke up feeling great and ready to head to dewbury. It was another dark, cold, rainy morning but this much was expected. A normal morning went by but by 10 am I had a killer headache, nothing seemed out of the ordinary to I just did my best to ignore it and moved on. Around 11am it started, I started getting chilled with goosebumps appearing on my arm. It was kind of chilly in the building so I didnt think much of it but I slowly started to feel worse. Then i started to shiver. By about 1130am it felt like I was going to throw up and eventhough I was now wearing my fall jacket I couldnt warm up. I knew I was sick so I asked to go home, as I left the building for the block or so walk to my car I began to shiver almost violently as soon as the cold air hit me. I managed to make it to my car with my teeth chattering and my back and abs hurting from the shivers. I immediately went home trying to stay focused on the road, i got in the house and immediately jumped into the shower to warm up.

It seemed to work, I got out and took my temp and it was 103 degrees! Holy crap! So i popped a couple tylenol and laid down for a nap. Through a constant amount of tylenol and rest with a cold shower in between I was able to get it somewhat under control. I slept the rest of the day and night, walking up this morning around 10am feeling better but still feverish. I dont know what the hell happened or where it came from. I can only assume that it is some freak flu going around, at least thats what I hope. Things are better now and my temp is almost back to normal, but definately not the weekend I had planned. Especially since I was going to meet a friend for dinner tonight and being unable to go I tried to get ahold of him. I left a message on his cell and emailed too, unfortunately he didnt get them and called from the restaurant asking where I was. I feel bad and hope he didnt cancel anything, guess we will have to reschedule.

Yah, there is stuff going around. The wife is sick this weekend too which really sucks for her because it's a weekend gone. I guess when the seasons change this comes around... I cross my fingers I can dodge this round.
