What I forgot about was the after-flu. You know, the week or two after the flu where, despite having kicked the virus, you still feel like horrible, like you've just been run over by a road train. You're tired, still a little sniffly and generally cantankerous.
The reason I forgot about the after-flu is that I haven't had to deal with it for a while. The last three years I've had a flu shot. I still got the flu, but it wasn't as bad, didn't last as long, and there was no after-flu. This year I didn't quite get around to getting a shot, next week always seemed like a convenient time. And then I got the flu last week, so now I have the after flu, and I'm really not enjoying it.
I'll be getting that flu shot. This week.

Hmm, getting pretty fancy with all the links to Wikipedia etc. Trying to up the ante--we'll see about that!
C'mon Claire, you of all people should know I'd be good at anything with the word "hyper" in it! Hyperlink, hyperactive ...
