The brick wall I hit when this month started was called coming down with the flu.

Though I didn’t actually get sick with the flu until February 12th, I think I had been exposed to the virus long before that. That, I think, explains a lot of the out of sorts feelings I’d been having.

The flu is running rampant around here. It’s almost insane the way everyone seems to be getting it, even if they’ve had the most recent flu shot. We now know that the flu shot does NOT cover this strain of the flu.

I hadn’t had the flu in about 4 years, and this took me totally by surprise!

I am not at my best when I’m sick, and this made it worse. I was an emotional mess up until I actually got sick. Now that I’ve more or less recovered from it, I’m feeling a whole lot better physically and mentally.

It’s weird how that works. I’ve had colds and not felt this out of sorts. Then again, colds are not the flu.

At least this isn’t 1989… the last time I was really, really sick with first a cold, then the flu, then it all turned into walking pneumonia with me being one day away from being admitted to the hospital. I never want to be that sick ever again.

But, that’s a story for another day.

That’s all from the Big Blue Couch
