A response in not as much avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/infect/

Yes.  I was one of those struck down by the flu this past week (I was definitely not an isolated incident at work!)  Tuesday it hit me hard and I went downhill as I got through my workday, Wednesday I succumbed to sleeping all day, hoping moment to moment not to toss my cookies.  And today, I am better.  Still tired, but I will be back to work tomorrow.

And let me tell you something you already know: Kittens are great company when you are sick.  They are quite happy to encourage you to rest and sleep.
