I’m dyin’ to know what you answered.

I have been rather out of it for most of the week as you may know. I did just barely manage to make it through 8 hours at work today but it was the longest day of the year.

Gas has come down locally to just under $4 a gallon. If I feel a little better sometime this weekend I may go fill up a couple of cans with real gas.

Other than that I am still far from feeling good and plan on doing my best impression of a barnacle on a boat hull in this recliner.

The wife is still worse than I ever was and that sucks.

So what are you seeing in your neck of the woods?

Situation Normal, All Fucked Up?

Is the world still coming apart at the seams where you are too?

Speak up dammit, you really should get over that shyness issue.

This is a great place to do just that.

Like the kid you are dragging around on your arm?

I’d slap me a contractor that put that shit in my house.

No I ain’t dead, I just wish I was.

Holy crap.

Whatever flavor of Flu this is going around, it’s a potent sonofabitch.

Splitting headache that won’t go away, this is day 4 of that.

Chest cold symptoms, oh yeah, BAD chest cold.

The wife has it worse, she coughs so hard she throws up and also has the Hershey Squirts.

For me, it’s the body aches, this far and away the worst case of aches I have ever had and most of it is my upper legs for some reason.

So far my strategy has been gargle deep with Lysterine, drink water and sleep.

I have been up almost an hour now, it’s 12:40 on Thursday afternoon.

I have basically been in bed asleep since Tuesday night.

The only thing I would get up for was to take a leak and drink some water.

No food, cigarettes, coffee or Monster Energy Drinks.

Water and sleep only.

I finally woke up about 11:30 today and checked on the wife. Then I nuked something out of the freezer and scarfed it like a starving dog.

I feel better than I did but I’m here to tell ya that there are only a few people on this entire planet that I would wish this experience on.

I talked to my buddy at work too. Most outfits have a Two Day Rule for being sick. If you call in for more than two days in a row they want a doctors note before you come back to work.

Really?

If I’m sick enough to not come to work then I definitely don’t want the pleasure of sitting in a doctors office all afternoon so that he can go, ‘Yep, You Have The Flu”

Take a couple aspirin, drink lots of fluid and get plenty of rest.

JUST LIKE WHAT I WAS DOING BEFORE I HAD TO COME HERE, D’OH!

So I told him I would try to be there in the morning and he can tell me to come home if it doesn’t look like I am going to make it all day.

I thank you all for your concern and well wishes.

Now if you will excuse me, I’m going back to bed.

Damn.
