Dear girl-flu

[hirez]

No. Just no, ok?

I'll concede that a throat full of nastiness might not be an ideal accompaniment to cycling into work on a freezing morning, so took the car instead. However, that's the limit. I have stuff to do this weekend, and since I don't wish to mither about spreading germs over strangers you can either piss off or you can piss off.

Eat chillis and garlic. They're terribly good for scaring away lurgies (and other people, but never mind...).

I'm in the same situation and sooo not impressed.

I find cycling a wonderfully effective decongestant. Well, for the duration of the cycle, at least. The long term effects may be less ideal. I discovered this out of necessity when I lived nine miles from work and had no car, which does wonders for the motivation.

You're right, of course. I should have toughed it out. However I needed some extra load-carrying today.

I fondly believe it's the cycle-enabled warmed up metabolism that's fighting off this bug as I write.

Quite. I'm equally firmly convinced it's the total unfitness which means I have zero reserves with which to fight off the bug (having said that, I've been Not Quite Right for the better part of a week and only fell over yesterday, so I must have some sort of immune system). Which is one reason I can't wait to stop working and use what little energy I have to get more fit.

1000mg of vitamin c at least 2x a day. 10 plus hours of sleep and a bloody hot shower.

How are you not dead if you have girl flu :P

A superior metabolism and a party to go to. Although I won't go if I'm rough. I'm not snotting over other people because I can't stand the thought of missing out. That would be crap.
