Thanks Debby. I was really non-functional for a couple of days. It became light sensitive and totally miserable. It feels so good to be able to think again. 🙂

It’s crap and there’s nothing to do but wait until it goes away – though hot toddies with lots of whisky (or whiskey, if you insist) and sugar and lemon can at least make the symptoms a little bit more bearable. And eat lots of garlic to keep future bugs away. If the recipes calls for three cloves, add six!

I still do not think Americans understand what yesterdays filings mean. There is the legal definition of treason and the way we use the word in every day speech. The law may disagree, but I call it treason.

Thank you! I’m mostly sleeping and drinking gallons on green tea. To state it bluntly, this flu is kicking my ass: a month, eh?

Yeah, I wish I had gone to the doctor after day 3, but I’m old and stubborn. It kicked my ass. Had pink-eye with it. Never before in my life have I had pink-eye. Stay on top of it, my friend.

You had pink eye? One of my eyes is going pink. Yes. The only thing to do is lay down and accept it.

I found relief in dabbing the eyes with a warm wet wash cloth.
