Not feeling well a-taaall. I think I got the thing that's been going through our house. Funny thing is I felt fine this morning and had Son bring me to the doctor's office for blood tests and then on to the DMV to get my picture taken and my license renewed. Then we met Hubs and had lunch together at one of our favorite places, Schlotzsky's.
I felt great! Brought some cheese sticks and a cup of tea with me in the car so I could get something in my stomach right away after coming out of the doctor's office and was enjoying the lovely, warm, sunny day God had blessed us with.
We dropped Hubs off at his office and went on home. Still feeling fine.
I sat down on the couch and all of a sudden I am aching all over, from head to foot. I thought that maybe it was, okay, let's admit it, the unhealthy food, but it felt more like a virus. Let me just give praise to God right now for allowing me to have a carefree, beautiful morning with tasks successfully completed before this thing hit me. Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ! You are so merciful!
Next thing I know I'm lying on the bed under 4 or 5 blankets and shivering away with my temperature inching up. I had planned to bring the 15 yo to her violin lesson later and do some shopping, but at that point the plans had to be changed. Son said he'd drop her off at Hubs' office on his way to work so he could bring her and I emailed Hubs the grocery list.
But the 15 yo was still not well and had a bad headache, and I hadn't the heart to make her play a loud instrument right by her head for half an hour, so I let her stay home.
When Hubs came home with the groceries, the girls helped him put them away. Then he made dinner, bless his heart, baked tilapia, baked potatoes and green beans. And he cleaned up afterwards. Yes, I think I'll keep him. ;)
I grabbed a shower once the shivers stopped because there's nothing nastier than hair spray in your hair and smeared make-up on your face when you're sick. Okay, there probably is, but you know what I mean.
It's been up and down for me since then, but I felt well enough to write this, but the shivers are trying to make a comeback. I hope I get some sleep tonight. I think I need to bring out the heating pad.
And then conservative powerhouse and truth hound, Andrew Breitbart dies at the young age of 43. Man. What a day. Sorry I'm not terribly bubbly this week. Life isn't always pretty, but it has lovely moments worth remembering.

We seem to have parallel miserable days! :>) Today I went back and forth from being nauseous to only wanting to eat stuff I can't have and back to nauseous. It's all worth it, though! I hope you feel better tomorrow - a good night's sleep does wonders sometimes.
I was sorry to hear about Breitbart as well. :(
And sounds like the flu, sweetheart, esp. the way it hit you suddenly. Hope tomorrow's better.
Lenetta, sorry about the morning sickness! I remember those days all too well. But the worse you feel (so they say) the healthier the baby. I pray that's true for you!
Melissa, you're right. Just looking forward to being over it!
(((Mom)))
Dad said you had the flu. Hope you're feeling better. And yes, he's a keeper. You have a good man. :)
Thanks, ((((Carrie))))! Definitely on the mend.
Yes, I agree. He's a good man. :)
Love you!
