RT, all your energy has been diverted to your immune system to get the healing done. Hence the drop in personal standards (feeling like skipping the workout and feeling irritable). Understand its part of the process. Best thing you can do is keep taking all your vitamins, minerals and nutrients as well as eating low GI carbs (esp before your workouts) to fuel and sustain your body while you're going through this. Also limit exertion, it's been shown experimentally that exerting the body during illness actually has deleterious effects on ones health.
I'm reading a really interesting book called "Willpower" and all the symptoms you've mentioned (feeling irritable and feeling like skipping the workout) are synonymous with diminished willpower as a consequence of having all your energy diverted into your immune system. Best thing you can do is follow what I mentioned above. Good luck man
