It’s a good thing my computer is about 5 feet from my bed. If it were any further away, my chances of posting anything this week would have been significantly reduced.
I feel just aaaawful. But, being the eternal optimist that I am, I think I’ve hit rock bottom today and am now on the mend.
But illness will not be vouchsafed as an excuse for failure to post the results of our Watchers vote. And since I was remiss in posting last week’s results as well (actually, I was sulking because of my horrible showing in that vote), I must therefore make this a twoferone post.
Enjoy.

As a veteran of double pneumonia, trust me:
Take it easy.
This is a sickness that saps your energy, and you need all of it to get better. I pushed too hard when I felt better and came w/in 15 minutes of a ride to the hospital.

Rick, do you have the flu or pnuemonia?
I never take the flu shot and knock on wood have never had the flu and used to work for years in an ER at a hospital here in Al. I must have a good immune system.
Are you drinking alot of fluids, taking hot Tamiflu, hot baths and getting your spouse to give you rub downs? I hope so cause all of these helped my kid when he had the flu.
Get to feeling better real soon.

Actually, I have a chest cold that I think is the flu – not double pneumonia which was a play on the fact that I covered two weeks of Watchers council results.
But hey! I still feel like double crap, let me tell you…
