Weird thing with this bout of influenza, the person I took to the ER did not have a fever. Me neither. I wonder if that is part of the "if you get your flu shot and you still get the flu, it may not be as bad".
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired.
Bloody Mary sounds like a very good plan. Except I would be asleep in about 2 minutes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The sort of mini-flu that Husband and I think we got did not involve fever. Just periods of feeling like crap, mostly.
Coming back to work after vacation is the worst. They ought to let you ease your way back in over a few days.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks, all. Pix and I do really need to celebrate together one of these years.
-t, that sucks. Not a very nice welcome back to the office.
Dana, I would love to develop the ability to strangle someone through the phone for that kind of comment.
Laura, some extra time is good news. I hope the marketing materials wow him and make selling the house a relatively painless process.
I hope everyone that is feeling icky feels better soon.

Good call. Take care of you.

Thanks, Tep and Epic. This little corner is just fine for me.

Being asleep soon after is one of the best parts of the Bloody Mary Breakfast Plan, Laura. Mmm, naps. Good luck with the house!
I did finally get coffee, everyone can relax on that front.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nothing makes me more nervous than taking my kids to the doctor when there are nasties going around.
I'm still mad about the time I was visiting friends, and we had to take the kids to the doctor, and I ended up with pinkeye. The kids I was visiting didn't have pinkeye! I just picked it up at the doctor's office!
I'm also still mad about the time I was sick with a fever for two weeks (really sick), and the doctor said it wasn't the flu because the fever wasn't high enough! But I had been taking so much advil, who could actually say what the fever really was??
This is why I shouldn't get sick -- it just makes me mad!!
