The Bug has bitten. An I am going to miss the S.C. Apostofest b/c of it. I had been fighting it all week in hopes of being able to go. But, it looks like it is not in the cards. I am sitting here in my fleece jammies, drinking tea w/ honey and feeling blue.

Hope you get better real soon. I had my bout of flu three weeks ago, there's a lot of it about at the moment.
This is starting to sound just like my typical after-meeting chat!

Awwww, hon, I'm so sorry the bad flu bug bit you. Oh, well. Since you're gonna be laid up for awhile, try to make the best of it. Sounds like you are. (The last time I did have the flu, I was so ill that I had no desire watch TV. For eight full days, my head hurt so bad I couldn't stand the sound of anything, and my eyes hurt so that I couldn't read even though I wanted to.)
Just drink plenty of fluids and sleep as much as you can. Hopefully, you will bounce back in no time to your regular routine. That "NiteTime" green medicine worked good for me and helped me sleep through the night.
(I was hesitant about getting the flu shot, but am glad I did. Hopefully, I won't get real sick if something comes along.)
Xandria,
Get well soon! Please don't forget to get your flu shot next year.
I've been down with the bug for almost two weeks..... I just start feeling normal again and have another bout, I've missed a week's worth of work because of it....
They hadn't even started giving the flu shot for the season when I started getting sick....
Love, Scully
Take care,Scully.

Poor sweeties. Feel better soon.
((HUGS)) thank you everyone.
I cannot get the shot due to the reaction my family has to it. I don't want to go the way my Aunt did in 85.
Anyway, here is a great recipe for a toddy.
2 tbsp brandy, scotch, bourbon or whiskey ( your choice and don't mix it all )
1 tsp of sugar ( or equal if you cannot take too much sugar)
2 tbsp cranberry juice
1 lemon twist
4 cranberries (optional as garnish or just a extra kick)
Pour the liquor and sugar into a coffee mug, then fill with boiling water and stir in cranberry juice. Twist the lemon peel and drop it in. Add cranberries to garnish.
Be in your most comfortable jammies and get into bed with a remote and / or book.. and relax you will drift off to sleep.
** Note don't mix with medications.
Sorry you are sick Xandria,,,,,,,,,,,, I am too......, I thought I was getting the flu, but I have bronchitus. I thought it was the flu because I started hurting , but mainly it was pain in my arms and chest,,, probably from the coughing so much too. That has been the hardest part, I am coughing so much , but I guess that is waht I need to do to clear myself of this. I am glad it is not the flu, that hurts so bad........ you don't even want your sheets to touch you..... I hope you get some rest and hopefully you wont have any other complications..........take it easy........ hugsssss ( from a distance of course so I don't pass my germs to you) dede
I was hoping to feel well enough to go back to work tonight. It's not gonna happen though.
Still taking ginger ale, dramamine, jello and broth. Nothing else stays down. *sigh*
I guess it was a good idea to take out some savings bonds last year. They're going to come in handy this month. LOL
Back to bed with my remote and my bunny slippers.....
Love, Scully
