Sorry I’ve been MIA lately, but I came down with the flu. I don’t even remember the last time I had the flu, not to mention being THIS sick. It’s fucking awful. We’re talking constant, daily fever (right around 101-102 degrees), body aches, chest congestion, a really nasty cough that gets so violent at times I’m afraid I’m going to start seeing blood, and, well, that’s about it. But that’s all it’s taken to completely knock me on my ass for a good week now (I originally came down with it last Sunday but didn’t feel really bad until the following Tuesday afternoon). I went to see the doc (some substitute doc since mine was on vacation, naturally) and got prescribed a couple of drugs that really made no effect, plus he told me to take Clariton and said to continue with the Ibuprofen for the fever. So I’ve been doing a lot of sleeping, coughing, drinking water, sleeping, coughing, drinking hot tea, sleeping, coughing, moaning, groaning, sleeping, coughting, ad nauseum. Luckily, Miles just got over something similar (not sure if he had the flu but it was a very similar respiratory illness with a bad cough) and Gina had her flu shot so it hasn’t effected her at all (thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that!). I do have a few things I’ve been wanting to post about, but I’m not quite there yet physically to put much effort into posting, but I wanted to at least post something here so people didn’t think I was dead. OK, that’s enough for now. More later.
