Well…I really thought I’d feel better today…and after feeling good enough to go out for the grocery run it seems that was all of the energy I had for the day….have felt pretty crappy all day but my sinuses are better so maybe that’s progress? If things stay like this, it looks like no pool tomorrow…there is no way I’m going to have the energy to go…the strange thing is that in 30 years of working, I never took 3 days in a row off from work for being sick and this time would have been an entire week…so maybe I’m right when I can’t remember ever being this sick….I will keep updating this as long as I’m still fighting this one…crap…just started coughing again…when will this all end?

Well…it was another crappy day yesterday and I woke up to a weird surprise this morning…when I was brushing my teeth I noticed that it didn’t taste like the mint it is…it tasted like tobacco and now I am noticing that everything tastes off…coffee doesn’t taste like anything and that is concerning me…I think I need to go try some hot sauce to see if it screwed up across the range….it’s already hard enough to eat enough and if noting tastes right, it is going to be even harder…really hope it’s just the flu and not permanent….okay…just went to the fridge and tried some cotto salami and I could taste that a little and it tasted right so maybe it is just the breathing through my mouth with the head congestion that is causing it….I did muster up the energy to go out for a grocery run this morning but was sweating through my clothes by the time I got back here…..so maybe some progress but not enough…more later….

Well…I’m still miserable…miserable…miserable…and I don’t know how to treat it but just to rest…didn’t sleep at all last night but I still can’t nap today…two hours of sleep and I still can’t nap? Yeah…irritates the hell out of me and I’m not sure what to do about that either….this has been one of the worst flu that I can remember and I am starting to get really tired of it….went through a box of tissues since yesterday and when I look in the mirror, it looks like I’ve aged 30 years and I’ve taken on a grey color that is not too flattering….does it sound like I’m sick? Yep…have had enough…

Well….running late today with the computer giving me fits again…I guess I’ll have to try to fix it later…did not sleep at all last night…maybe a couple of hours and my bedroom is a miasma of sweat and used tissues from the flu that is still hanging on….it gave me a head fake yesterday and I felt okay for about a half hour but then slapped me down again…I did discover that I won 7 bucks in sat’s power ball so it only took 3 extra bucks to get my five picks for the 485 million for tonight….other that the errand, I didn’t do anything yesterday and today will be the same even though I have lots of stuff I do need to get done around here….but, that is not going to happen with how I feel right now….more later….

Well…it’s halftime of the soccer match so I think I’ll update the flu chronicles since I have had it since sat night…but, it really kicked in on sunday morning and I have been struggling ever since with chills, fever, coughing and a really severe fatigue…oh, and pain that I have not felt in a long, long time…had to run an errand today and could barely push the clutch down to shift…and that is going on right now, too…the one thing that is strange is that I can’t  remember getting the flu twice in one year ever…especially since the last one was just the first week of January….and this looks like the bad one since I’m 3 days in and still sweating through my clothes…but, it’s time to go back to the couch and lick the wounds and rest…

Well…it was a really crappy day yesterday feeling like I do…worst flu that I’ve had in many, many years and I am sitting here in layers and layers of clothes trying to stay warm….I did get out to get the papers on time today and I am having coffee that tastes like crap to me….and I do have to make a run out today at noon but that will take all of the energy that I have left….other than that, not much to do today…I know…these are short but I feel like crap and just making coffee and reading the paper has done me in for another few hours…more later…flu chronicles are coming back…

Well…this one is going to be short…have the flu again and feel like crap so I’m going back to the couch…more later….

Okay…feeling a little bit better but I have just gotten off the couch for the first time today…and I am sweating through my t-shirt so that is not fun…yesterday was much like today and I felt like crap then, too, so I didn’t do much at all but just hang out…and that looks like the plan for today, too, since it took all of my energy just to take a shower and make some soup for lunch…not sure why I went out to wash the car yesterday feeling as I did but I’m glad I did…the locks were a little frozen this morning but I got the door open okay….not going to do much else around here today….after this….need to go back to the couch….

Well…sitting here watching a soccer match that I really don’t care about so I thought I’d get this one done…it was an okay day yesterday and I had fun going over to watch the Wings game with one of my sons…but, I didn’t get anything else done so that needs to change today…slept pretty crappy again and I’m not sure why….oh, well….the tooth has been good the past two days and that is a relief but I am realistic enough to know it won’t last long….I am going to go out and wash the car here in a few minutes since it is in the 30s and I need to get the salt off it while it is warm enough to dry and not freeze…and that needs to be done before Man U plays at 11 so I guess I’ll start to get ready to go out….more later…

Well….I was right that today was going to be another one of no accomplishments…other than cooking that is…but, I really don’t feel that bad about it….have had to try to find my Wings gear for the game tonight and have found my Hank shirt that is my favorite…I think I may have to get my son to bet on the goals in the game tonight since it seems to make it more interesting…and, I may even put the top down on the way over there since it is still 40 outside right now and I need to get my February top down run in…but, we’ll see…..not much else to talk about today so I’ll end here…Go Wings!
