Today I woke with a nasty version of the fuckyou flu. Symptoms include having the feeling of an enormously inflamed throat, goosebumps from The Chills mixed with a feverish temperature, and the inability to turn my head past my shoulders. Normally, I do a full turn-around a la The Exorcist just to crack my neck in the morning. I went into work anyway and by noon I was sent home where I slept for enough hours to produce dreams wherein I worked at a pony ranch and sold sunflower seeds at a roadside market.
If you’ve read me with any regularity you’ll know that I write weird stuff when I’m sick because my brain leaves my body for a parallel universe where I am the President of Strawberry Shortcake Productions and where my business card simply reads I’M THE DECIDER.
What I’ll write later this week: how Mallory graduated from college on Sunday on the coldest graduation day in the history of the world, how Mallory moved back home and that while unpacking her “kitchen stuff” box I found THREE, COUNT ‘EM, THREE of my travel mugs that I’ve been missing for a few years, how Mallory is back home and in need of a full-time position with dental and a 401K.
Here I am over at BlogHer where Rita interviewed me.
Here I am over at this new website called “Thank A Stranger”.
Here I will lie upon the couch and request peanut butter and banana sandwiches that my kiddo makes me on her G5 grill that she got for Christmas.

The “fuckyou flu” is classic. It sucks though. Hope you feel better and regain control of your brain soon. Congrats on Mallory’s graduation. I remember moving back home after graduation, too. Hmmm, should lead to some interesting posts soon - smiles!

I hope you feel better soon. I say “Fuck You” to that flu, too. Lots o’ crap going around here, too.

I hope you feel better soon. I’ll send up some chicken noodle soup. Or do you prefer whiskey to fight those chills?

Hang in there! I’m feeling your pain, I’ve had the worse year I can remember as far as sickness goes, from giardia to flu to colds to overtraining exhausting. Life is tough, and tougher when you’re sick. I’m passing on the virtual hotdish someone sent me (yeah, I know, “hotdish” just screams “Minnesota!” Maybe you’d prefer some virtual couscous…)
