Oh Flu. You Will Not Have Me.

2/05: That is the bold title I gave a post two days ago, when I thought I was winning this game. Then I went back to sleep.

2/06: Today it's more like "Flu, I'm yours. Do what you will."

2/07: Today it's more like "WTF, Flu? Don't you have anything better to do?"

2/11: Today I'm just going to lay very still and hope that health happens

No really. This flu is no joke. I've been down for 11 days. I left the nest for a few hours yesterday to give a presentation. Other than that I've been holed up in the house.

The only time I let this flu get to me was when the mama needed help and I couldn't give it to her. Her weekend caregiver gave us 4 days' notice, and my sibs have had to fill in because mom couldn't be by herself and I'm too sick to go over there. I'm so used to being able to fill in all the gaps myself. When I realized I needed help myself, I quoted one of my favorite Onion articles and cried. 

Thank goodness for family.
