Saturday night: B convinces me to accompany him to a party that his co-worker was having. We make an appearance, chat away to new people, and hang out with Craig (co-worker).
Sunday all day: I (Summer) went to the Gold Coast airport to shoot a TV commercial for Jetstar (local airline here). I was dressed as a flight attendant and had to play air hostess and hang out on a plane all day. (I will blog more on this once the ad airs here, but let's just say my face will be seen nationally all over Oz in a few months...YIKES!)
Monday morning: I wake up with a sore throat, and feel as if I've been punched in the head (throbbing headache). I blame this on my intense day from Sunday's shoot. 10 minutes later, B texts me to say that Craig (aforementioned co-worker) didn't come into work because he had dun...DUN...DUN... SWINE FLU. Brian comes home from work early because he too isn't feeling up to par.
Tuesday all day: We both feel yucky, I've got massive sinus congestion and B is feeling achey all over. Neither of us have high temperatures, but feel quite ill nonetheless.
Today (Weds): Brian's boss instructs him to go to the doctor, where the nice Dr isn't sure if he has swine flu, but sends him home with Tamiflu and the option to send some swabs into the lab to confirm if its actually the dreaded swine...
So....what do YOU reckon? We are sitting here huddled by the heater, watching Huey cook on TV. I'm torn on whether to actually take the tamiflu, or just let whatever is going on in my body simply run its course. We're taking precautions by drinking heaps of (freshly squeezed, thank you very much) O.J. and wiping down everything in the house so that poor flatmate Dustin doesn't catch whatever we've got. Unfortunately we're missing work, social functions (like the State of Origin 3 game tonight) and possible birthday barbies this weekend :( Anyone in the States know of someone who actually has swine flu? Who knew it wasn't just some phantom virus floating around the world??!
...AHCHOOOOO! *COUGH COUGH HACK COUGH* :( What a depressing blog post, sorry mates!
