Being sick is never fun, and when you think you've got something horrible, like the swine flu, it is even worse. I woke up Wednesday night with a slight cough. Thursday I trotted off to work like a trooper. Thursday evening we had family portraits, which I had been looking forward to for weeks. I was hoping it wouldn't be one of those "family" outings that you are excited about, and then it turns into a living nightmare where nothing goes well. My children, (teenagers plus 1), were spit polished and ready on time. They all looked amazing and very handsome. My mother came because I wanted some shots of her with the teenagers and she was looking dandy as well. The photographer was great and I think we will have some outstanding pictures. Can't wait.
Afterward we went to sushi and I started feeling really yucky. Anytime I can't eat sushi is time to ring a high alarm. So on Friday I sashayed off to the doctor who pronounced that my swine flu test, while negative, is only accurate to about 70% and since I had all the symptoms, they would treat me with tamiflu. I'm going to watch movies and clean out my e-mail box. Normally I would shop online to heal my soul, but why shop now? I'm doing so well...other than the hacking cough and death flu.
