Bed Rest

Today was the first day in four during which I spent more time out of bed than in bed.  I assume it must have been the flu, as I can normally work through pretty much anything.  But the fever, aches, and dizzy spells put me on my back.  In bed.

On the bright side, I now believe C3 when she says the mattress isn't comfortable.  It just took me 2 days to start to feel what she feels after 2 hours.  Who knew??  Laying down that long sure does drive the point home.  Again and again.  We'll work on that, Hon.  In seriousness though, she was a gem all weekend.  Hope she doesn't come down with it now.  The boy, either, for that matter.

At this stage, I'm behind on about everything of course, which makes it pretty darn easy to prioritize; I'll start wherever the piles are deepest.  But it might just have to wait until tomorrow.  Comfort food tonight, and I'm in the kitchen for it.

But before I go...  I came across this in the middle of my delirium and it may be a coincidence, but I started to heal shortly after:  Hell Yes!

I rarely need fancy drive bits in the work shop, but I've needed them often enough that I've been wishing I could find a classically handled set of phillips head drivers, at the least.  This stag handle sure is going to look good waiting on the tool rack with the rest of my equipment.  Consider it ordered.

Thought things were a bit quiet. Glad to hear you're pulling out of it and everybody else hasn't picked it up yet.

Thankfully I don't get reminded how bad the flu is very often. Ugh.
