Life Lesson

If you ever have a chance to have a day off from your life, please remember this lesson and use it in your life. Do not mention the fact that you have the day off from your life and are mulling over what you might get to do or what you would like to do with the said day off. The forces of evil will hear you and swoop in with not-quite-the-swine-flu for you.

I have been in bed for 2 and a half days--torturous for me. I don't think I moved Sunday except to pee and nearly puke. I hate being sick. Genius Golfer played in a two-day tourney this weekend so he was gone Saturday and Monday. The kids had to keep track of me Monday as I was self medicating and should not have been driving them anywhere. But we did go see a matinee of Night at the Museum: The Smithsonian along with half of the county. I did fairly well through the movie but I haven't really eaten much in almost three days. Not my idea of a healthy diet option.

I am still fighting a sore throat and a bit of a cough. The aching joints flair up at night and I am keeping GG awake when I finally do fall asleep since my head is stuffed up--I am a snoring machine! The tummy trouble is at least gone. Had some trouble there Sunday but never actually puked; just felt like I should have.

So, this can be filed now under "Too Much Information". But the life lesson is still applicable. Don't let the fates know you have the day off, or they will harass you with illness or disaster of some kind or another. Next time I will just let you know in person and then meet you for lunch someplace discreet.
