    Eight Stages Of Getting The Flu In Summer

    The sun has got its hat on, hip hip hip aaaaachoo.

    1. It's summer. You feel AWESOME

    2. But then comes that first fateful sneeze

    3. You know you don't have hay fever, so all you can think is...

    4. You buy all the medicine you can find. And tissues. Basically anything that can make the pain go away

    5. But the evilness of illness (and, okay, maybe the full bottle of cough syrup) makes you feel like this at work

    6. You have to beg for time off so you can go home and hibernate

    7. But then, after an age of sleeping, you realise that you have your sense of smell back

    8. It's official: the flu has gone. Time to enjoy the rest of summer
