Sick, sick, sick

I've been down for the count this week. I think its been the flu but who knows? All I know is I've felt worse than I have in ages. All I've wanted to do is sleep and I went thru a spell of severe chills followed by a temperature spike to 101.6. Gack! I'm finally back to work today but definitely running in slow mode.

Want to work in Wales?
