This week nothing has gotten done, because I have had a cold, or something like that, which knocked me on my ass for a few days of coughing sneezing puking misery. It probably wouldn't have lasted so long, but you know what's a great thing to do when you're sick? Go camping! Go camping somewhere even colder than your own uninsulated drafty house. That'll do it.
Anyway, home now and finally feeling a bit better. No, I haven't had a flu shot. I've never had a flu shot - I don't really believe in getting vaccinated against things that wouldn't permanently maim or kill me (so I might feel differently about the flu shot when I am old or otherwise compromised). As far as I can tell, I get the flu about as often as people I know who get the shots religiously. A reminder to take a few days off isn't such a bad thing, except for the house going to hell in a handbasket while I'm lying around with the cats. At least someone took care of the chickens for me, and we have so many eggs that I'm wishing I could sell a couple dozen.
I'll buy your eggs - but a nice nourishing custard might be just the thing for you right now.
ReplyDeleteCamping? If you feel like I've been feeling, and you were camping - lady, I thin your pilot light blew out. Or are you merely testing the levels of your endurance? If I were camping right now I would say,"I'm going home. Load up and come along or stay out here and freeze. I'll try to send someone back with the car if I don't die first."
