Overall, it felt like a flu. While I stayed in bed for much of Thursday and Friday, I still felt like I could have forced myself through work (as I have often done in the past). At no point did I feel incapacitated. My sinuses were only partially clogged and a generic decongestant was enough to knock what little there was out, which was good because it was giving me a headache. I did have the strange symptom of waking up shivering on Wednesday and Thursday nights; however, I often feel cold when ill or over-tired. At no point did I think that I had a fever. I only seem to cough when I lay down; although, just as I typed this, I both coughed and sneezed.
The only other real symptom was muscle soreness. On Friday night, my right shoulder was bothering me so much that I had trouble sleeping. On Saturday night, it was my lower back. In both cases, shoveling probably did not help matters.
It was strange staying home the past couple of days, considering that I felt almost completely fine. I'd like to say that I was productive, but aside from a little bit of grading and a few emails, I spent most of my time relaxing.
It will be nice to be back to school tomorrow, even if it's only for one day before parent-teacher conferences.
