I lost a week to Influenza A. Yes; I got my flu shot back in October, and yes, I still got it. The doctor said the shot kept me from being hospitalized, but man; it was a horrible week. I did nothing but listen to audiobooks and sleep when I could. Mostly in 20 minute increments. I could not get warm and that, I think, was the worst. I am still weak, congested, and have very little appetite, but at least my hair stopped hurting. Yes, even the hairs on my head hurt. Clayton, my grandson, brought it home and was out of school until Friday. In January, I read/listened to 22/150 books for the Goodreads challenge, of which 14/150 counted for the audiobook challenge. This week, we will celebrate my son’s birthday. Stay Caffeinated.

    The flu’s been bad this year! I lost about 10 days to close out January; I kind of expect it these days, but still, that was a bit much. Hope you’re feeling better!

    Oof. I still remember how bad I felt the last time I had the flu and it had to be 15 years ago (knock on wood). I’m glad you’re feeling at least a little better and hope you continue to improve.

    Happy birthday to your son!

    I can’t wait to read Grady Hendrix’s new book. I love his work.

    I hope you and Clayton are both feeling better. I’ve only had the flu once in my adult life and it was the absolute most miserable I think I’ve ever been. I’m glad you listened to your body and got as much rest in as you can. I hope this week is much more fun!

  23. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Oh no! Well, I guess at least your case wasn’t as severe as it could’ve been. I had some sort of regular flu earlier in January, like January 1! My mom had something then too and I guess I finally caught it from her after doing so well over the holiday beforehand. Hope you’re more on the mend now! But wow, hairs can hurt?! That’s insane!

    Nice new read! Hope you enjoy that one!

    Here’s my StS

    Have a GREAT day!

    Oh, I’m so sorry you got flu, despite your inoculation. The last time I had flu I swore I would do anything I could to stop myself from ever getting sick with it again; it was awful.

    I’m so sorry to hear you’re so sick, Kimberly! Influenza A is no joke! My friend just came down with it and went to Urgent Care. Said this is the sickest she been in a long time! They gave her anti-virals and she’s feeling a little better. I hope you do, too!

    My youngest granddaughter had influenza A last week and that toddler was so sick. Somehow the rest of the house didn’t get it . . Yet.

    I hope you get better and your strength back soon. Please take care.
