the FLU with FLAIR

Saddled with fever, chills, sweating, headaches and dizziness for 5-7 long, rotten days? Why not paint your nails?

That's about as creative as I got last week when Aubrey and I were bitten by the bug.

In the picture above, Aubrey is on the upswing. My Flu started a couple days after hers, so at that point in the week, I was in the throes. Hence, no picture. We took one, but it's so bad I can't bear to post it. The pain crease between my eyebrows would fill a plastic surgeon with glee, and, well, I'm not wearing a bra under my t-shirt, so I spared you all -- all three of you who read this.

Fortunately, Dane and Mick haven't gotten it. I'm not sure they'd go for the pink/red nail thing.

Mick's inhaling an anti-viral every day, specifically prescribed by our doctor for this strand of Flu. And, Dane? Well, I guess we've just got our pretty little fingers crossed for him. So far so good...
