Flu Season is Here

I work in a small office and several of my co-workers have been sick off and on over the past several weeks. After initially thinking the Green Vibrance might have boosted my immune system so much that I could avoid the sickness, I was brought back to earth on Wednesday. I woke up with a tickle in my throat and by the time I left work it felt like my throat was nearly swollen shut. Since I have a busy travel schedule over the next couple of weeks, I almost flew into a panic because there is nothing worse that traveling when you're sick. I drove myself down to the Urgi-Care in Pacific Beach, where the doc told me I didn't have strep throat (whew) and prescribed a Z-Pack.

Although I felt considerably better by Friday afternoon, I have been doing a lot of sleeping and relaxing this weekend. The sickness seems to be lingering, which makes me a little nervous to get on a plane tomorrow morning. I'll keep downing the orange juice and Mucinex-D and hope for the best...
