Man Flu

I reckon women would stop saying how difficult childbirth is if they went through man flu.  I also reckon I will get a lot of bites in this fishing spot.
I have been forced to be an undercover agent.  In bed is the best spot for me right now and I am surprised how I do sleep.
I knew something was going on on Tuesday.  I had real difficulty sleeping the Monday night.  I cancelled all the next days activities.  They were to be in the morning and at night.
Tuesday I started taking Panadol (I knew I was not pregnant, so the debate of the time did not apply).  The first lot did wonders but when I took the second lot I knew it was getting worse as they did not have the affect I thought they would.  Probably things were better than they would have been, but needing another hanky told me this was getting worse.
I cancelled any activities I had planned for the next day.  I was going to have breaky with a mate.  I really enjoy those breaky’s but do not think others would have appreciated a coughing, spluttering person in their midst. I was also going to have a jam session with the next door neighbour.  He is “fly in, fly out” and works on a rig in the Arafura sea.  He has been learning the guitar and sounds great.  I have contacted him, and we will get together next time he comes home.  He is on a two week rotation.
So I think today will be similar to yesterday.  A lot of time in bed.  As far as I am concerned this thing has just lingered, although this time around it is worse than any other.
Actually, I reckon this is a first world problem.  Compared to the suffering of others it is really light.  But it sure is inconvenient and a battle I would prefer not to go through.
