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.

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.

Keeping my head down and off of much of social media today. I don't need the reminders.

I've been thinking about you today, Maria. Love to you.

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.

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!!

Much love to you, Maria.

ION, my back spasmed so badly on Sunday that I wasn't sure if I should go to urgent care. I went to my chiropractor yesterday, I'm going back today, and my doctor prescribed me goooood muscle relaxers. And, when I emailed my boss to let her know I wouldn't be working yesterday or today and that I'd juggle things to make up the time (sick time when you've been placed on a PIP seems like a bad idea), she said just take the sick time, and she'd extend the end date of the PIP. Yay?

This month, man. Not a fan right now. Wasn't much of a fan of last month, either.

My travel arrangements are all done. It's good to have that all taken care of.

Ugh, sorry about your back, Atropa.
