Flu

By the time I tried to pray the flu away, it was too late. Fever struck Friday night and it stayed for four days, along with chills, aches, and the lot. (On the plus side, coughing this much has been an excellent ab workout.)

Chuck quarantined me to the bedroom where I proceeded to sleep and lay like a slug, half-watching bad movies all day long.

And then suddenly it was 2013. Hurrah.

Yesterday was the first day that I felt somewhat human, so in my menial strength I swept and mopped the kitchen floor. A task that I could usually do in my sleep wore me out entirely. I crashed back into bed immediately after.

And now, as I type, I have a 99.7 temperature. Just when I thought I was at the end of it…

So Happy New Year, readers! I hope you all had a wonderful ringing-in of 2013 with lots of smooches from loved ones.
