one flu over the cuckoo’s nest

I have the flu. I spent all of yesterday in bed. We live in a small house, and I never even made it to the kitchen because I was too weak. This morning I still felt lousy, but now it is afternoon, and I am sitting upright! Like a human! I’m hoping tomorrow will be even better. Having the flu is a big, big bummer. On top of it, the weather has been gorgeous, but I have been in a darkened room, rotting in my body soil (eeewww! This blog is supposed to be appropriate for women and children, so I apologize for that graphic slip-up). There are, however, some positive points. The only one I can think of at the moment is that Peter made Jell-O for the first time in his life.

    Hope you feel better soon, in the meantime make the most of the Jello!

  12. Rachael says:

    Oh, poor poor poor you! I HATE the flu. Nothing good about it, and even the jello doesn’t make up for it. The only good thing I can see about it is that if you HAD to have it, at least you’re getting it over with before Stitches. Now, THAT would have been devastating, no?
    Feel better, dear.

  13. rae says:

    what a bummer. i didn’t get around to having the flu shot either. jello always makes me smile; what flavor did he make for you? feel better soon!

    Get well, get well soon, we hope that you get well! Sorry for the Seinfeldian party song but it’s all I could think of in your present condition.
    I find chicken soup always hits the spot whether it be flu or cold. Ask hubbie to open a can for you!
    Get well, get well…..you get the message.

    Maybe if you stay in bed long enough, he’ll learn how to bake brioche. 😉 Be well, Mariko!

  24. Heidi says:

    Hmm…would the thought of your very own little box of Marly’s Chocolates help you get better? Maybe you’re not quite ready to eat them yet, but by the time they get there you should be!
    Get well soon!

  25. claudia says:
