First you change parties and now you get sick. See the pattern? The monkeys are getting out of shape what with no more dancing and all. Tell us you did take the flu shot.

Woke up feeling like warmed over s**t. Too much to do to feel this way. Hope they will give me a shot in my fat butt and expediate my recovery. Especially hope my wife doesn't get it. We are doing 3 Christmases.

As I sit here, with a mask on, all the coughing and hacking and spewing makes me hallucinate I am in a 19th Century TB ward. Hell, maybe I'll see Doc Holliday

I know that feel bro, I went to sleep last night with a cough and woke up without a voice

I feel for ya dude, I have the same shite.

If I dont get some good rest tomorrow I will either get pnuemonia or die by Wednesday evening. In a house full of people. Which actually would be great timing since almost every one is home for Christmas. A quickie funeral and cremation could probably be penciled in at the last minute.

One of our kids flew in for Christmas last night, she barely made it out of Chicago with one flight cancelled another missed before finally catching one then almost missing her flight out of Houston to Tulsa that she had to run to catch. It was almost looking like somone was going to be driving down there to get her. But she made it.

The shopping. And more shopping. It has been endless. Not sure if my wife is done yet. And I cant tell that there is much of a recession with all the people Ive seen while out shopping with her the last two or three weeks. She has really been burning it up and pretty sure the swipe stripe on at least one of her cards is close to being worn out.

Her oil industry related company had a kickass year so I guess she's just whacking out some of her fat bonus she got at the annual company Xmas party Friday. She sent me a pic of it to my phone Friday but I was sick and couldnt focus it into my brain even with the phone sideways. And too sick to care really. My wife and kids know I must really be sick too if I dont get excited about someone bringing in some big money.

Anyways. Hope you get to feeling better Mr Books. And have a Merry Christmas.

I got something about 2 weeks back but was over it in a weekend. My mother (I live in my old childhood home taking care of her as she is partially disabled, but still mean enough to run me down with her cane..ha) just got something about four days later but it seemed to subside until last Sunday when she started getting sick. No fever, but had a backache and couldn't keep food down. Finally sent her to the doctor on Thursday when the OTC stuff wasn't doing the trick. He gave her some anti-nausea stuff by shot (doesn't do any good by pill or liquid if your body rejects it) then also gave her a ZPack (6 pack of antibiotics). She takes her last one tomorrow. I think the antibiotics just makes you listless because it has to fight all that stuff. Doc says likely just an upper respiratory infection. She's much better now, but listless. I have to fight her to keep her out of bed all day because it's likely not making the listlessness any better.

I got a shot and both anti-virals (tamiflu) and antibiotics (z pak). I swear I've passed out 2-3 times in the bed and the room was spinning. Crazy.

Gonna have a house full tomorrow.

Hate being sick, but usually get some sort of crap every year. With the weather coming this week and not much to do outside it's not so bad to stay inside and rest. I always start to feel a tickle in the throat and then I know it's on it's way. Hope you feel better soon JB.
