the Super Bowl halftime show was pretty good, they should consider continuing the strategy of getting people who aren’t totally washed

    My wife and I have been down with a hella annoying flu since last Tuesday (wife) and Thursday (me). The headaches are insane, I’m barely able to do anything when the painkillers run out. Hoping it’ll improve at some point this week because I’ve not felt any better even a single time so far.

    I tried to go outside for a little walk today to get some air and immediately the vibes were off - super windy and cold - so I just went home after 5 minutes :(

    I’m so tired of sitting on this couch ugh

        If I may ask, did you ever suffer from any side effects? I think the flu shot is a good thing in theory, but the day after the second Covid shot I had high fever and muscle pain (it happens to a few select lucky people), and the first booster shot was even worse, so I’m reluctant to try another vaccine that’s likely closely related.

        We are considering it for the future for sure. We’re both young though, and usually the seasonal flu is not that bad. There’s a particularly nasty strain this year, which is why suddenly it’s a real health issue for us too. I’m pretty sure we don’t qualify for free flu shots, but we can definitely see if it’s affordable.
