Bleah …
Yes, it's still raining, and to make my world even happier and just filled with buckets of fluffy kittens and chocolate boobies I've been down with Man Flu since Sunday and it sucks.
Pounding headache, throat so sore I can't speak, occasional vomiting, a fucking painful hacking phlegmy cough that wouldn't disgrace a lifelong eighty-a-day smoker, a raging, sweaty, no-sleep fever, snot and sneezes pouring out of my face like Linda Blair projectile vomiting and an all-over ache like I've just got a good kicking.
Of course, any woman would shrug this off as a mild sniffle, but hey! I am the weaker sex and I'm gonna milk it for all it's worth.
Shit, I feel so crappy I can't even face alcohol. I need hugs and sympathy but in real life that only happens to other people so I'll just fill myself full of drugs and crawl back under the duvet.
See you when I surface. Oh, and look out for flying snot.

Dive, sending you huge amounts of chicken soup and hugs! And don't worry--the flu is serious enough to put any gender down for the count. It's not like a "man cold." Plus, I see you have retained a sense of humor with vivid writing, which is uncommon for people in your situation.
If it makes you feel better, I had such a migraine last week, I went to a meeting and started crying like a baby. Ironically, the cry cleared up my sinuses and I felt better. Give it a try!
Oh dear Katherine, I used to suffer so badly with migraine so I do feel for you.
Of course I worry about young Dive who really tried to tell his Mum how he was feeling, and sounded rough,poor thing and the worst of it is I worry about him, still nice to see he doesn't mind letting you know in detail how he feels …which means he feels better than he did at the beginning of the week.
Hugs and Kisses headed your way despite the snot!
XXXOOO

I am so sorry to hear you're ill. It's a real bummer, isn't it? I'd bring you chicken soup and chocolate-covered boobies to warm your snot laden cockles, but at the end of a 10-foot pole. Maybe I'd wipe you down with sterile wipes before I gave you oxoxoxo, too.
The last time I was that ill, all I wanted was orange juice and potato chips (I guess for the salt) when the fever finally broke. Pay attention to any weird cravings and give in to them - unless, of course, it might get you arrested.
That sounds terrible! Medicate, my good man, medicate! It doesn't matter if it has no curative effects, as long as it knocks you out.
XXXXXX (no kisses, don't want to pick up your cooties)
Sounds like a nasty bug! After your stomach settles, perhaps hot toddies would help. Vanda's advice is right on...
Sending hugs, and hope you feel better really soon!
Take care dearest Dive and hope you feel better soon. xxx
Hugs to you dear. And I haven't been visiting or blogging, just using FB to chat with the daughter in Philly. Hope you feel better soon.
nice droplets.
Feel better friend.
You're disgusting. Really, David, I hope you feel better soon! Hugs from across the pond.
I'm with Vanda, please do medicate. And thank you for not posting photos.
Huge thanks to you all for your wonderful, warming and extremely therapeutic support.
I just can't seem to shift this thing. I'm still feeling like crap almost a week later.
Hey ho.
And it's still raining …
SHOOT! This happened last time I left a comment. It goes away and then I don't have it in me to repeat.
Ok, second try.
Sorry Sorry you had the flu! That is the worst! I feel so bad that I didn't know to check in on you and make sure you were drinking your fluids and such.
Jamey had what sounds like the same thing this year and he was absolutely miserable for way too long. I was starting to think his work might not take him back after a week and I'd have to find some employment. haha
It was so very hideous and I know yours was too. Hope you are back to normal energy wise now. Take care my friend! X's and O's
