The Crud has Creeped and Caught Us

So I've dodged it for months but I think it finally caught up with me. Not only me but Chris too. Sore throat, aching bod, sinus drainage which I'm sure is causing the sore throat, semi runny nose...just plain horrible! Swine Flu?..I feel like a swine (whatever a swine might feel like). Chris missed a couple of days of work because of it week before last and he couldn't go in last night. I can't wait to see the water and gas bill next month..it's all because between the two of us we've run up quite a bill! It just feels so good to stand in the steam!!! and then when you get out about 30 min. later you feel like crap again and you start all over again. So I hit the cough drops last night...sucked on one and broke out in bumps, great time for an allergic reaction to these things! I've gone for so many years without having one..now here we go again. So I sent hubby to the dollar store for some cheap candy of any flavor except anything with mint! There goes the chocolate mint ice cream..no more for me unless I want to visit the friendly, expensive emergency room...all for them to tell me 'Hey your allergic to something in mint products' DUH!!! Ya Think???

I had my flu shot again this year..so I don't think it's the flu on my part. I think it's allergies or such. Probably 1/2 allergies and 1/2 old fashioned cold. I'm sure being out in the cold freezing rain with soaked socks and shoes and clothing drenching wet for 4 hours didn't help...then going out that night and not getting home till 11:00 and to bed until after 1 a.m. and up again at 5:30 a.m. didn't help ward this crud off.

Excuse me now while I take more Tylenol and snuggle with my blanket....because tomorrow we're travelling over to Mtn. Home for Mothers Day...a picnic with family..oh boy! Bah Humbug...
