Slightly belated New Year’s greetings. I’ve been laid low by some sort of flu like illness and haven’t felt like sitting at the computer today. From what Ambulance Driver wrote a few days ago, I think I have the same thing. I’ve heard of computer viruses, but this is ridiculous. I just read his post and I get the same thing as he has. Sheesh. I had to cancel my plans for New Year’s Eve, which were for a quiet night home with the Mrs. and a couple of friends. I repaired to bed early and watched some of the Three Stooges Marathon on a local channel. Today consisted of lying in bed and watching the Three Stooges Marathon on American Movie Classics. Not only did I get to watch continuous episodes, but I also know which bottom feeding TV lawyers specialize in which maladies, know all about how to get a free glucometer if I’m on Medicare, and saw Dr. Joyce Brothers tell me about the benefits of one of the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” telephone systems. Oh yeah, I can buy $2.00 bills for a bargain price of $10.00. I’m starting to wonder what the hell demographic I’m falling into to when I see these commercials on stations I watch. On the bright side it’s an incentive to get better quickly so I can do other things.
Back to bed for me now. More New Year’s blogging when I feel better.
bugger, now i’m reading it! I refuse to get the flu though .. stuff needs doing.
Hope you’re feeling better soon – and that 2011 is a wonderful year for you.
Thanks. I hope things continue to get better for you in 2011 as well. I know that great things await you.
thank you
I wish too that 2011 brings you lots of joy.
My husband and I both came down with some wierd gastro-intestinal bug on Christmas Eve that left him couch-bound and vomitting 13 times in 12 hours. After we recovered, it jumped to my brother, sister-in-law, and little sister. Methinks my mother-in-law may still be miffed at me for missing Christmas morning (Chia Pet went, I couldn’t summon up the energy after barely sleeping the night before) but I thought I would be courteous and not risk spreading it to her.
Get better soon!
We had that pleasurable experience right after Thanksgiving. Sick as a dog for about 18 hours and then it was gone. This was much different, being all upper respiratory. Last night at 2000, I was making plans to see a doctor just as soon as I got into work. By 2245 when I got up to go in to work, the fever and stuffed sinuses were gone. As the night went on at work, I kept feeling better. Now, other than an occasional sniffle, it’s all gone. Weird. And yes, you were courteous, because she doesn’t want to catch that stomach thing, whatever it was.
Thank you for the laugh, now I am hoping that I don’t get the same virus too!
