Today, it's 3 days before Christmas and my first day of holidays. Today is also the first day I have been sick all year. Hello tonsillitis, goodbye fun. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my first holiday from work in over 6 months as it was my birthday. Today was also the day I woke up and vomited violently for 10 straight hours as a result of food poisoning. FML
Today, I spent all year avoiding COVID, colds, and flu. On December 30th, I caught the worst cold of my life. I’ll be ringing in the new year in bed, with tissues as my only company. FML
Today, I was going to spend my weekend celebrating my first time not being sick since Labor Day. I woke up with a sinus infection instead. FML
Today, my period has given to me 4 giant zits, 3 screaming shits, 2 stomach ulcers, and a fever blister on my lips. A few days until Christmas and the gifts keep coming. FML
Today, I'm sick. I got the flu shot for the first time ever this year and for the first time in my life, I have the flu. FML
Today, I got a quick COVID test and got a positive result. Christmas is in 3 days, my son and husband have to stay with my mom and Christmas is my favorite holiday. I've never been away from them this long and it is killing me. FML
Today, I learned that I have a sinus infection, ear infection and bronchitis so bad it was on the verge of pneumonia. My work won't let me call in sick. I work with kids. Lovely. FML
Today, it's my first day-off for the holidays. Today is also the day they decided to start building a house next to mine. I can't sleep beyond 7 am. FML
Today I woke up with an extremely bad flu and severe nausea. As I rolled around wanting to die I remembered that 4 days prior, I had hoped to get a cold to skip a compulsary carol service for my Catholic school. Now, on Christmas Eve, I just want to say, be careful what you wish for. FML
Today, I was on holiday over the Christmas period and ended up with food poisoning. I spent most of the time on the toilet. I think I’ll stay home next time. FML

I just got over 4 weeks of bronchitis, myself. The first day I started feeling a bit better, I dislocated a rib. 6-8 week recovery. This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Hey, I've been in the hospital for the past 2 months and it's not that bad! Don't let a sickness stop you from having fun OP, I haven't let it stop me. I hope you get better though

Look on the bright side.. At least you don't have to go to work or make excuse for missing.

Don't worry OP, it could be worse; I once vomited onto the presents when I was younger.

All I can think about is the delicious food you won't be able to enjoy this holiday season.

A little whiskey down the hatch should help, & hopefully you recover before your return to work OP.

Tonsillitis usually clears up within a few days. Gargle with salt water and dont eat anything the is dry and crunchy. I used to get it a lot, and it does indeed suck.

this is the second time in 2 months i've had strepthroat, and i don't get a Christmas break, in fact they took 1 of my weekend days away because we are closed on Christmas day. chin up OP could always be worse
