So, the population is huddled up with thermometers and medication, schools are closing, flu vaccine is in short supply. And I’m writing a book. Yes, I ache all over, yes, my throat is scratchy, but the book has unspooled in my head and I just hope I can make it as real with words as it is in my imagination.
Have laptop, can work from bed. Hey, if I’m going to feel crappy no matter what, I might as well feel crappy and write fiction. Take that, H1N1.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, me too! I’ve decided writing through it is therapeutic. Or something. *g*
Oh man! So did you get tested? Is it the flu or the H1N1 virus?
I had a flu shot but the H1N1 vaccine hasn’t been released here yet. I want to be vaccinated. I hate being sick.
Hope you feel better soon. Get plenty of fluids and sleep.
*mwah*

Apparently 99% of all flu cases now are H1N1, so kind of no point getting tested. I hate being sick too. I am drinking lots of fluids. And taking vitamins. It just annoys me we all got sick despite the hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, etc.
That’s nasty…the flu, not the writing. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
NJ, it’s been one thing after another for the whole family since school started. It’s gotten ridiculous. Colds, ear infections, bronchitis. At least kid #1 is totally well now! I hope we’re all right behind her.
It’s just not fair!
I think schools are a hotbed of germs. For the rest of the flu season you should hose down all entrants into the house with purell. Head to toe sanitation. Think Meryl Streep in SIlkwood.
(My imagination is big!)
I already talked to her teacher about that. I was joking. Sort of. *g*
