What month is it?

Okay, maybe it's not that bad, but it was getting there. I still felt horrible yesterday and PC made me go with him to eat sushi. I didn't want to, but I'm glad I did because after I ate a ping-pong ball sized blob of wasabi and a small mountain of ginger (not to mention the tuna and salmon I ate it with) I did feel better. Not good, but better, which is way more than I've been able to say for two weeks (Two weeks! Yikes!).
I actually went to the gym this morning. I certainly wasn't setting any personal records and I felt like a total weakling, but the important thing is I went and I broke a sweat on purpose (as opposed to all the sweat I've been losing from the flu ague). And right now, post-gym and pre-shower, I think I can see my way clear to being well again! Yay!
I like to think I don't take my health for granted, but being sick for two weeks really puts a different spin on things. My health is constantly on my gratitude list. It's something I think about and something I work for with both exercise and healthy eating; my health is very important to me. But even being consciously grateful, having the (killer) flu for two weeks really had me freaked out. I am very grateful it's just about over and I will continue to remind myself of just how blessed I am to have good health.
Now I have to go rearrange my calendar - which means I have to move the to-do list from the first week of March to this week. Nothing like being 2-3 weeks behind.

What week is it?

On Friday I was feeling better, so I assumed I was getting better.
I was wrong.

What day is it?

The flu got me. Usually I don't get the flu, but this time it got me pretty good. I haven't said anything coherent since Tuesday (have I?) and I'm thinking anything I said Tuesday may be up for debate, too. Maybe today, too, but at least I'm able to maintain a seated position for more than two minutes.
Normally, if I get sick at all, it's a sniffle or sore throat or something irritating but tolerable. This did not fall in that category. This was some bad stuff.
So, being the geek that I am, I checked out the CDC's website for the flu report (did you even know there was such a thing?) and saw that "The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza was above the epidemic threshold for the eighth consecutive week." Go here for summary reports of the last 10 years or so.
I'm getting back to normal. I think.
