Annnnd… We’re Back!

When my dad was badly weakened by the flu and my mom wanted to call an ambulance to take him to the emergency room, he wouldn’t go unless he could shave first and change into a nice shirt and a pair of slacks.~Rich Lowry

Doug wasn’t sick, he just wanted to lay around all week…

This is the first time in eight days I’ve been able to look at my laptop screen without getting a splitting headache… Yes, I had ( and am still recovering from) the flu.

I got sick within a matter of minutes eight days ago. What I thought were my seasonal allergies turned out to be the sickest I’ve been  in my life.

I literally ( and I’m not overusing this word like Doug does) slept for the first four days, except for getting up a couple times a day for obvious reasons.

My 103 degree fever lasted for three days and I couldn’t eat for five… I had to force myself to drink just to stay hydrated.

I’m a lot better now- just expelling the last bits of nasty that started living in my head… Still sleeping a lot though.

Doug was supposed to write posts while I was convalescing, but you see what you get when you leave a monkey in charge… Nothing.

I have a ton of comments to catch up on… Sorry to those of you who wrote and I didn’t get back to you yet. This weekend is set aside for catching up, blog housekeeping and maybe a post about the cool flu related things I discovered over the past week.

Next week will be back to business as usual, starting with a new post in the Connect With Your True Self Series. Doug and I are at it again and we can’t wait to get back into the blogging groove!
