Consuela, when does your year end/start for your days to restart?

I still don't think this is the flu, but a sinus infection is probable. I am calling my dr. shortly to see if I can get in. I ran my mile last night and did yoga for 15 minutes and it did not make me feek good at all, not worse, just no better.

eep! No flu! I don't think we got Isaac vaccinated. Maybe we should do it now just to be safe.

Thanks for the article, Cass. I am certain that's the bug I found, less certain that it's the source of the skin irritation, but we will see. At any rate, it got us to really clean the kids' rooms and the den, so I guess some good came out of this mess.

And that coat is gorgeous! I can see why you're going all Gollum about it.

The flu is apparently brutal in Chicago this year.

I earn a certain amount of PTO per pay period, so it's not a question of resetting, it's just that I've burned through everything I had accrued, between moving my folks and the holidays. (Also, the new payroll system basically makes it impossible to take LWOP. Boo!)

In better news, I think this cake might be relevant to some Buffista interests.

I don't think this is the flu either, but my boss was telling me that several of her husband's coworkers (he is a physical therapist) are hospitalized with the flu. And apparently our hospital is diverting to another hospital (mostly flu)

OK, Community. You rule my world. Holy shit!

One of us! One of us!

In other sickie news, JZ's bronchitis is finally winding down after six weeks of horrible hacking. Lots of steroids and the extra tube extension on the inhaler seem to have knocked it back.

Woke up all stuffy. CJ is also a sicky but being the mean mom I am, I sent him off to school.

The best way to wake up ever? (sarcasm font) Getting a call from KCD flipping out over the bed bugs and how come we waited so long to tell them and general FREAK OUT. Ummm, we just found out yesterday, you haven't been answering your phone so I told your wife. Yes, we had suspected a problem for a while but had no proof or confirmation until yesterday. YOU MUST CHILL.

I'm gladd JZ is feeling better. I hope all the other sicky buffistas have a quick recovery.

eep! No flu! I don't think we got Isaac vaccinated. Maybe we should do it now just to be safe.

Yeah, when I heard on the news yesterday how widespread and virulent the flu is this season, I thought that maybe I shouldn't do my default of counting on herd immunity, and maybe I should go get a flu shot.

I have mac to get his flu vaccine mist next week. They will not give me a flu shot while I am feeling poorly.

I have a 3pm appt, so there's that.

KCD can flip out all he wants - how the hell would knowing help him/change his life? crazycakes. Like you are going to keep stuff like that from him.
