Well, last Friday one of my students was coughing all over the place, clearly quite ill (I told her she needed to go HOME), but even though I tried to be careful and dodge all her germs, on Sunday I began to develop a sore throat. I ignored it. 
But by yesterday morning I had quite a lovely cough, lost my voice (croak squeak croak), had a slight fever and felt very lethargic. I didn’t even go to work (!). After consulting with my GP, I began taking antibiotics, a five-day cycle, no big deal. And in fact, after spending most of yesterday in bed with three of my fuzzy kitties curled up next to me, purring and making sure I was nice and warm, today I feel much better.
So I am back to doing some writing, some research. Can’t stay in bed all day….uhmmm…unless you are a cat, of course…!
