It Goes Around

While I am starting to feel better (again) from this awful flu bug, the others in my house are getting worse :(
Last night was especially bad, with the two girls coughing and sneezing and hacking, sounding like cats trying to cough up a hairball, poor girls. While they didn't get much sleep, neither did I. I got up after dozing for about an hour or so and ended up staying up the rest of the night, going to bed after sun up and sleeping late into the morning. I think I was back up by noon but I wouldn't swear to it LOL
Tonight they both sound a little better and I am hopeful that sleep will be coming to all of us.
In the meantime here I sit at the computer listening to the Moody Blues from their Nights In White Satin days and enjoying myself. Hope all of you are healthy and enjoying your weekend as well :)

Feeling Better

A little bit, day by day. This bug that has been going around this year is terrible. Seems like you get rid of it and WHAM! it comes back and hits you again. If all the phlegm doesn't drive you crazy, then the bug in the ear will.
My ears have been plugged up for days now, making it really hard to hear things and people, even people that are standing right next to me at times :(
But, that isn't the worst part. When the ear pops everything suddenly seems 200 percent louder than normal and that hurts. And, to make matters worse, my equilibrium is way off.
Now, I don't walk straight even when perfectly healthy, but being out of whack doesn't make it better. Especially when I go bowling, which I did last night.
Last week I went and only managed to bowl one game before I had to go home I felt so terrible. So last night, I got ribbed a little about leaving last week, with someone asking me if I planned on staying the night LOL The funniest thing was one of my teammates. He said he just turned around last week and I had disappeared. When he asked the team captain, Don told him that I had quit, saying I didn't want to bowl with them anymore! Now, I have been on this same team for about five or six years now, so that wouldn't happen, especially in the middle of a three game set almost at the end of the season.
My body hurts today, which to me actually seems like a good sign. It is normal, and having been sick with this bug for so damned long, I can use a little normalcy :)
Hope all of you are feeling fine and are not sick with this, or any other, bug :)

The Bug From Hell

The bug from Hell appears to be living quite comfortably inside of my poor, tired body. I thought I had gotten rid of it but it came back with a vengeance! No matter what I take it just seems to laugh it off and continue enjoying itself at my expense.
Some days I am vomiting and some days, like today, I have it easy, I just have the runs. I took enough drugs last night to knock out an elephant but I stayed awake for most of it, dozing off for mere minutes at a time. Needless to say, today I am spent :(
I do hope I can get over this bug soon. I already missed bowling last Thursday and I hate missing my bowling night!
Hopefully, all of you dear readers are feeling great and are not sick at home with the bug from Hell :)

Guess Who

Woke up today with an earache,a sore throat and a headache? Darn it, I thought this mess was gone from my system but I see now that it was just taking a breather before attacking me again :(
Maybe I am mistaken, but it certainly appears to me that the more advanced our society gets, the more advanced the germs get too. When I was a kid, you got a cold or the flu and you spent a couple of days resting getting lots of fluids and maybe some Vick's Vaporub for your chest and all was well. And the best part? The bug didn't come back at you every few days like this one is doing.
*SIGH*
Lord knows, I miss those days...
