I got my first-ever flu vaccine earlier this year. Never again do I want that horrid nightmare disease. I had it in December of 2023, and it was just the pits. I don't know if I ever had the flu before then, but this was definitely the worst of the worst. I sincerely thought I might die. I suffered and wailed and cried and just wanted it to end. Even the most severe colds only hang around a few days, maybe a week at most, but this flu was two weeks of agony. I have a perfectly fine immune system and no major health issues, but this flu was a plague from the darkest depths of hell. I've never been that sick. When I finally recovered, I vowed to get the influenza vaccine every year no matter the cost, and so this year I did. I don't have insurance, so I have to pay out of pocket, but any price I can afford is worth it if it means I don't have to suffer that pestilence again. I got the shot and there was nothing to it.
The flu can kick rocks.

Funny that.
When I get sick I just see it as an excuse to drink hot chocolate all day, it's generally quite pleasant apart from nearly ripping my nose off sneezing.

Any day is a fine day for hot chocolate in my book. Sometimes I like to add hot cocoa mix to my coffee.
