Yes, my title says it all. I've been in bed since Tuesday night, sicker (sniff, sniff) than I ever remember, and it's crap! I haven't had the flu for a couple of years, in fact I usually get a little sniffle or two and then shake it off. So, I guess I had all those years (cough, cough) of backed up sickness that I had to catch up on. The clouds started to part last night, and this morning I got myself up, showered (first time in 3 days) and drove the kids to school, even with a 100.2 fever. Because compared to the last few days, 100.2 feels great! (hack, wheeze, hack)
Okay, I just took my temperature, it's 100.1. Yea. Down one tenth. I had planned for weeks to go ice skating (sniff, sniff) with Loobey and her 1st grade class today, but somehow sliding around on a thick piece of ice (brrrrrrr!) did not sound the least bit fun today. So here I am sitting in my bed, feeling sorry for myself (cough, cough) and hoping that by posting this blog I will get sympathy from you all. It's true, I'm not ashamed to say it, I need sympathy!
A special thanks to my dear Lynnetty for bringing me some yummy soup yesterday. (Ahhhhh!) In fact I'm going to go finish it up here in a few minutes! (sniff, sniff) Thank you, thank you. I'm just sorry you had to see me. (CK told me I should take a picture of myself and post it here, then I'm sure to get lots of sympathy! Not on your life, Bucky!)
I just keep praying that I don't pass it along to everyone else in my house. AHHHHH!!! I'll keep you posted. So, for now (cough, cough), feel free to send warm wishes my way (sniff) and I'll be here in my bed, if anyone needs me.

joy! i'm so sorry you're not feeling well!! that's no fun at all when everything aches and you just don't want to do anything. if you need anything call me! love ya joy, get feelin better
Now if I lived close, I would do something really great for you - like bring you something terribly terrific and tasty in about 2 days from now when your appetite comes back and you crave everything under the sun from Warren's fries to Chinese food and hopefully by then you wouldn't be contagious and I wouldn't have to get sick! Because I am really nice like that to think of others before myself.
I hope you feel mucho better soon.
You know, I think if you drove really fast, 2 days would be sufficient time for you to get here. I'll be waiting!
Oh poor little joy. Hey and about posting the whole picture thing, after seeing you in person you have all of my sympathy that I could muster. And what are friends for if not to see us at our very worst, but remember I've seen you at girls camp first thing in the morning, it doesn't get much better than that. Tell CK that I am so grateful that he let me know that you were feeling cruddy, I could never do enough for you with all that you have done for me during my sick times. You still need to take it easy though, and make sure that you're completely better before you get back in the game completely. Take care!!!!
Oh Joy, that doesn't sound fun at all! Sorry you're so under the weather and I hope you don't pass it along to your family. I hear this flu going around isn't a nice strain at all and it doesn't help even if you got a flu shot. Oh, and you should've posted a picture of yourself on here. kidding. Take care.
No need to post a picture, being sisters I think I may know what you look like when sick, (and first think in the morning) not a pretty sight. Sorry you've been sick, hope by today (Mon) you're feeling much better. I hate flu! Hopefully the three cases of oranges our family has eaten since Christmas has helped our immune systems. :)
I hope by now you are feeling lots better!
