How the hell…
… do you manage to catch flu twice in 6 weeks?
Frankly, the timing couldn’t have been worse. R left for a 10-day (work related) visit to the US last Monday afternoon. 36 hours later, I developed a tickly cough. By the end of the day, it was pretty obvious that I had The Flu II.
So there I am with a raging temperature feeling like death warmed up trying to look after a 13 year old (with his own chronic pain problems) & absolutely zero help available. Thank goodness for online shopping. At least, I was able to order groceries to keep us going.
And then, to add insult to injury, we woke up on Friday morning to 4 inches of snow! It’s now Sunday, the snow has receded somewhat but the temperature still remains below freezing for the most part. And I still feel like death warmed up. If K isn’t feeling well on any morning next week, he won’t be going into school – simply because I’m going to be incapable of collecting him if he gets worse whilst in school.
Someone up there really doesn’t like me…
