For the past seventy-two hours, I have known the plight of the zombie. A mild case of the bird flu ripped through the school recently, and damned me to the couch. The trickiest part was staying upright for as long as possible; it was the only method that contained the runaway coughing. Effective as the cough management technique was, it caused a huge problem when sleeping.
Which is where the zombie life comes on. When I did nod off, five minutes later I woke up again. So after the first day, I just quit trying to sleep. If I passed out watching Montel, that's just how it was.
I'm feeling a little better today, and hope to be back at work on Thursday.

Try NyQuil – the liquid kind. It will change your (flu) life. I caught the flu a couple of weeks ago coming home from vacation (damn airplanes!) and NyQuil is the only thing that got me through it. I’d take a shot of that nasty tasting stuff and literally wake up 5 hours later. It was awesome… well… other than the coughing and fever and the brain splitting headache! But the sleep… Ahh sleep.
Should the nasty beast shatter my sleep schedule again, I surely will try the Nyquil challenge.
For now, I’m out of the woods.
I do think there is a link between sickness and airline travel to cold climates, especially flights in or out of the Northeast. They seem to go almost hand in hand.

Thanks, GeorgeJs. I am feeling much better today. I’ve heard Florida summers are quite tropical.
