The only thing worse than a cheese-sandwich post (ya know, one that is so boring and menial that you wonder why it exists) is a mucus-sandwich post ... one that says, "I don't feel good, World, waaaaaaah!" Yeah, what is up with that? Fortunately, the handful of readers who pop by here were spared because the flu bug that attacked me uphillbothwaysinthesnow wouldn't let me drag my sick butt out of bed to the computer for anything coherent beyond a little nappy-poo on the mousepad.
We are on the other side of that mess, dear hearts, and I see the uncongested airways at the end of the tunnel.
I'll leave you for the weekend with one thought: If a toilet flushed in the forest, would anybody hear it? And would the seat be left up or down? And what is that toilet doing in the forest?

I think I got sick just reading your post....bring on the chocolate and fuzzy blankets
I was pressured into getting my flu shot this year because my Doc was convinced I'd get the flu for my honeymoon. Getting the shot was the most painful shot I'd ever had, past flu shots included. I couldn't figure out why it hurt so bad. Then, my boss's parents went to the same facility for their shots and ended up getting some weird problem that equates to gaing-green (sp?) of the arm. I think it's called "Cellulitis". Lovely. Flu shots are over-rated. Just thought this tidbit might make you feel a little better about not having gotten the shot (on the assumption you didn't...).
oh man, you are not alone there. every other person i talk to is telling that story. makes me glad I am a hermit.
I hear that this year's strain of flu wasn't covered in this year's stock of flu shots anyway. Stupid mutant viruses...
