I’d been looking forward to this past weekend for some time. A bunch of great book bloggers were coming into town for the National Book Festival. My son’s first Cub Scout camping trip was scheduled as well so it was going to take a bit of juggling on my part to be able to do everything I wanted.
Turns out I didn’t get to do anything I planned. On Tuesday I started feeling a bit under the weather. I was coughing and had a low-grade fever. By the time Wednesday rolled around, I was bedridden and in so much pain from all the coughing, I couldn’t get any sleep. This lovely thing called the seasonal flu determined my weekend plans for me. I spent the entire time in bed. Any bit of exertion required at least an hour of rest afterward. And to make matters worse, I haven’t been able to read either. It’s been torturous.
Moral of the story: get your flu shot! I had a mild case of the flu and it was horrid, I’d had to see what a severe case of the flu is!
It’s going to take me some time to catch up on my reading and posting, so please be patient!
