DEAR NURSE: PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR MY ABSENCE AS I WAS DEATHLY ILL FOR THE PAST WEEK.

i was caught with the surprise visit of the flu last week. i had a fever for 4 straight days ranging nothing lower than 100.7 and as high as 105.5 people. it was golly awful, especially with the chill and the sweat. i went to the doctor on the evening of the third day and was told that i had the minor flu. i had no fever for one day and was so happy but then it came back for another full day. so, to this doctor of mine, this aint no minor flu because it is deadly serious and if this is minor, then i dont know what the hell is the flu because this totally kicks my ass and then some more.

i was trying to draw a picture of what i feel like after the worse part of my flu and this is what i came up with. i am pretty happy with it and for some reason, this IS what i feel like. i am still a bit congested and still has a sore throat but i think i send the big evil portion back to its home.

it was hard NOT to think about the kids when i was super sick but there were moments that i just had to let go and passed out. i was still nursing matilda since she refuses the bottles (she prefers her milk straight from her source). my mansomehandboy was great at being with the kids and taking care of me the whole time and doing all the errands that i usually do as well. i think it was harder for him to keep me in bed than anything since i was trying hard to find ways to do things and be with the kids. as of this moment, no one else has caught my awful not minor flu and it better stay that way.

i am going to do all the fun things i wanted to do last weekend this weekend. YIPPEEEE.

note to self: need to get my bangs trimmed.
