So I got my first bug of the season and it has been going strong for a week now. Coughing non-stop, sinus congestion and mucus fun. The hospital that I work at says we have escalated to code Yellow in flu precautions so it is has now begun.

 

Good luck this winter folks! Its gonna be a yucky one from what I hear.

I will typically get one cold/chest congestion/cough/stuffy nose spell during November and that is usually the extent of me getting sick in the winter. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I got a nice 12 hour flu bug. That is the first time I vomited without the influence of alcohol since I was like a sophomore in college, which was also the last time I had the flu.

I got it about a month and a half ago. Almost exactly a week after I rode the train for the first time in almost two years.
