Weekend update: Other things found last week:


Last week was pretty much a lost week, as we came down with a really nasty flu, like nothing I've ever had...4 days of fever and aching along with coughing. Couldn't do anything but sleep. After the fever, the cough stayed, and no sign of letting up yet. Managed to put in a couple days of work on Thu and Fri but had no energy over the weekend at all.
This was after a week or two of a nasty cold. Hmmm. They say flu season isn't bad around here, but everyone I talk to has been sick with something, or knows someone who is...
