Pandemic Proportions

The household is plagued with the flu virus.  I seems that we’re passing it off, one at a time to each family member.  It’s the typical “seasonal flu” as compared to the “swine flu”, which I guess isn’t seasonal?  It starts off with cold-like symptoms but then you have the high fever and achy bones, which will then turn the cold into a flu.  If you had vomiting and/or diarrhea then you just may have the h1n1 (hiney) flu.  I don’t want either, but I have this feeling that I’m right on the edge of the loading platform to the sick-in-bed express.

We are encouraged at the workplace, to wash our hands and get our flu shots.  Only our flu shots were cancelled due to a supply shortage.   However,

we’re assured that we’ll have them for the flu season.   Hello!  We have the flu, the season is NOW!
