For the last few days I've been feeling decidedly sub-par. I had muscle aching, was very listless, had a slight cough (but nothing much), and difficulty sleeping (which could be a side effect of that dratted beta blocker). I was so listless that I could hardly move out of the chair, and had little or no appetite. I actually watched daytime TV.
Today I was a little better, so I went to the supermarket after dinner to get a few things and some cash. I bumped into one of the owners of my gym. After we abused each other (we have a friendly banter that seems quite vicious, but is actually playful), he asked me why I hadn't been to the gym this week. I told him what I'd been suffering from, and he said, "Ah, that's what's been going around. One of the staff is so ill he had to stay home all week."
So now I know what I had: "The Thing That's Going Around".
I hope to return to the gym tomorrow.
