Sigh

[mbarrick]

Turns out feeling sick at the Christmas party last night wasn't as much a function of having a few more cigarettes than usual or mixing drinks, it is apparent today that I am actually not well. Elaine and I walked over to Granville Street (five blocks) to pick up a few things and it wiped me out. I slept soundly and solidly from about 3:00 o'clock this afternoon until 8:30 this evening. I got up still with the intention of heading out clubbing tonight but by 9:30 realised that it just wasn't a good idea.

The two utterly lousy nights' sleep Wednesday and Thursday opened the door to getting sick Friday. Bugger. Hopefully I'll be well enough to get out tomorrow night.

did you not get a flu shot this year??
It's going around.......hope you feel better soon.

I never get a flu shot. I'm of the opinion vaccination for diseases that are non-fatal or not permanently debilitating are actually a detrement to a person's overall health.

I'll be fine soon enough, I'm sure. I'm surprised you're not out.

i agree on the shots/vaccines thing. besides all the crazy people down here took all the shots and are paying victoria clipper 120 usd to go to canada to get them (or at least, they *were*, i think canada put a stop to that after a while).

in my own somewhat useless opinion, i think the more you get shots, the weaker your immune system is bound to get. but, that's just me.

sleep is good. goodnight!

I agree with you. The immune system isn't all about antibodies in the blood - that's the last line of defense. A vaccination bypasses the first levels and by not using them they atrophy.

skipped Sin City..my social skills aren't that great right now..I'm still wading thru the grieving process and not exactly 100%.
In between urges to beat the living shit out of whomever and crying my face off (complete opposite sides of the spectrum), it probably was good idea that we passed on last evening out.
