Sick day at home

I've spent my day off just trying to feel better. I woke up this morning headache-y and really just achy all over. Coughing. Sneezing. Sore throat. It felt worse than a regular cold, but not exactly like the flu.

Son felt my forehead and said I was hot. I figured I had fever just from the way I felt.

I took vitamins, drank hot tea with honey in it, and lots of juice all day long. (Son went to the store and got me several varieties of juice in bottles so I could take my pick as I felt like drinking it.) I also ate some home made chicken noodles this afternoon, leftover from yesterday.

At some point this afternoon, I broke a sweat so I think the fever is gone now. I'm still aching a bit but at least my skin doesn't feel touchy. I'll get a hot shower in a bit and consume more juice and more vitamin C, Echinacea, and Zinc before I head to bed.

I have to get up early in the morning to go to work. Bleah!
