maybe it’s bird flu

We have a running joke in our house about what ever illness or affliction is making headlines. If one of us isn’t feeling well (or is just whining), someone else will say "maybe it’s _____." I got it today. Woke up with a splitting headache…thought it was caused by staying up until midnight scrappin’ w/o the aid of caffeine. Caffeine addiction has to be managed very carefully. I had 2 1/2 cups of coffee at about 6 last night…but didn’t make another pot later on. So, I let too much time pass between hits…oops, I mean cups. Anyway, when I woke up with this headache & a slightly nauseous feeling, I assumed that it was just withdrawl. Nothing that downing a large cup o’ joe won’t fix. I was wrong. As Rob was putting me back into bed after a seriously unattractive vomitting episode, he says "maybe it’s bird flu." Funny guy.

It’s raining for about the millionth day straight…thank god soccer was cancelled today. The kids normally play in the rain (or snow), but I think the wind is just too strong today. So, it’s a stay-at-home, drink hot chocolate, & watch football day instead. Nothing wrong with that (unless you have bird flu…in which case, I’d recommend skipping the hot chocolate).

    Whenever someone is sick and we call Kaiser, or go to Kaiser, it seems they always say, “You have a very bad cold.” I have claimed that I can be a Kaiser doctor/nurse because they always give the same diagnosis. So, even when someone is horribly sick (friends and family), I tell them they have “a very bad cold” So, Katrina, I think you just have a very bad cold- shake it off!!! Or, maybe you’re pregnant (my other favorite diagnosis FOR OTHERS). : ) Hope you feel better.
