The President Ordered It

:( I woke up with my throat hurting something fierce. My ears were tickly again, and my head hurt a little bit. The president was on NPR telling people with flu symptoms to stay home. This is just a cold. No fever. I told my co-worker about my throat and got all ready for work, but called her anyway to ask if I should come into work anyway. She said no, I should stay home and rest. I didn't want to, I felt ok, ok enough to sit in front of a computer and make decisions, but after a nap, I'm not so sure. I need to go to the store and get some juice and things, but I don't really want to leave the apartment.
