Wash your hands often. If you can't wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.
Get lots of fresh air. Open windows whenever possible.
Get plenty of rest.
Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.
OR ... You can take the doctors office approach. Think about it, when you go for a shot, what do they do first? Clean your arm with alcohol. Why?
Because alcohol kills germs.
So...... I walk to the liquor store (exercise), I put lime in my Corona (fruit), orange juice in my vodka (Vitamin C), celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies), drink it on the patio (fresh air), get drunk, tell jokes, and laugh (eliminate stress) and then pass out (rest). If you keep your alcohol levels up flu germs can't get you!!!!

Have officially come down with, The Flu. This is a rare occurence for me as I have a very hper-active immune system, but here we are!
Oh yes, the fond memories of soaking through your sheets, and nightclothes to where, (and ya'll know this is true,) you have to hobble back into bed ON TOP of the covers, and just get more freakin' blankets, so you can stay warm and dry, until the next fever hits and breaks...
wow, such great memories!
Last three days:
Times attempted to go to and acutally be in class in this week...(This includes hot morning showers to "rev-up, and shake-it-off!) = 3
Food= 0
There-a-Flu-wanna be cold medicine doses that do not work= 2 cups total ounces
Laundry loads of sheets and pj's that have been done = 4
Staying home today and being on PS.com today = Priceless
And then there is the old standby...Hot Todday, with Tea and Whisky! If all else fails soon, I nmight try it!
