Yep and it wasn’t pretty. Sure, just when I decide to kiss my girlfriend’s baby on both cheeks, I get the flu. I spent half of my fever-induced stupor hoping I didn’t pass it along and wanting to research the incubation period so that if it passed, I could let let my guilty feelings go, but I was too bad to even go online.
I don’t think I have ever looked or felt worse and I sure hope that at the very least, I have some immunity. I realize that sounds like someone on Survivor or Biggest Loser and coincidently, I am down 5 lbs. and look as crappy as those people on Survivor. Never watched the show, but they sure look pretty rough on the commercials.
I told my kids to all get the H1N1 shot but then found out it’s backordered at both their college and at work locations so I can worry until early Nov. when they are expected to have more in.
My son’s mid-term report card in the mail on Sat. – he is doing pretty well – and I didn’t have to cook meals for five days straight. (And by cook meals, I include being the one to place the takeout order.) Every cloud…

5 pounds? Talk about a silver lining!

Sure wish the vaccine would show up around here!
I don’t think I want to lose 5 pounds that easily.

I don’t think I want to lose 5 pounds that badly.

They have the vaccine here for the middle school kids, but I think it’s too late. 130 kids were absent yesterday. This stuff is nasty!

I know. Today I heard that there were 98 kids absent from my small rural district, and the headline of the local papers says that that is pretty much the same case all around neighboring communities.
