Blargh...or should I say oink?

[primsong]

All my kids and myself have been down this past week with what we figure is that H1N1 Germ of Trufflehunting. Not too bad in severity but it's the lingering on...and on...and on thing that's driving us stir-crazy. What a waste of a week! Sleep, cough, drink tea, try to write a little, work on Etsy...sleep...rinse and repeat. Very tired of not being able to think clearly.

On the other hand, the timing could be said to be fortuitous for we'd just received a Box of Wonderfulness Revisited in the mail, to wit - 9 Doctor Who tapes, all Fifth Doctor as he was the one we were missing the most of. Just spent the better part of an otherwise useless day with my kids, all of us heaped around a television to enjoy 'Warriors of the Deep' 'Black Orchid' and 'Enlightenment'. Yaaay, Fivey! We'll survive this yet, with the help of the Doctor, right?

I'm sorry to hear you and your family have been hit with that mess, but I am glad it isn't too severe. At least it is prior to the holidays and not during! Let the Doctor take good care of you and feel better soon!

Thank you - and that occurred to me as well - now I just hope it'll have the decency to go away before Thanksgiving. And at least it isn't Christmas! The good Doctor has been a delight, as always, and a welcome distraction.

Doesn't sound like wasted time to me at all...sometimes being sick gives you a chance to rest and recuperate and take a break from all the busy-ness, and most of all, giving you all a chance to spent time together with the Doctor ;) And now you all will be better for the Holidays ;)

I hope you all feel better soon...I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop ...have felt like I was going down several times recently but have been taking echinacea to ward it off with the trips to Baltimore and all. I'd like to stay well through Thanksgiving but then after that, I just want to get it over with ;o

I'm sorry you're sick, and your family as well! Hopefully you'll have strong resistance now to every other flu that comes along.

Thank goodness for the TV.

*hopes you have a better weekend*

To a certain extent that's true, but having it land during a school time so the kids are all stressed about the fact they are falling farther and farther behind in their work isn't helping. :-/ Oh well! The Doctor is a help. :-)

I hope you keep your health, sounds like you've been under a heck of a lot of stress of late, keep popping those vitamins and echinacea, good stuff that...Hang in there!

Indeed we hope so as well - thanks for looking for the silver lining. :-)
