I’m ready to douse everything and everyone in this place with Lysol, or bleach, or maybe a bit of both. Then I’m going to buy a SARS mask for Hayley to wear to school. Because I finally got over whatever I had last week, was more or less fine, if a little tired – and then yesterday I noticed that my throat felt weird. I recognized it, but slipped into denial mode, telling myself that clearly I was just thirsty and needed more water.
Right. Today it feels like there’s a big ball of broken glass in my throat. I was able to go back to bed from about 8:30 until 11 but it didn’t do much good since I felt groggy for several hours after the fact.
I am so tired of people being sick around here. I really want to get flu shots for all of us, but you’re supposed to be reasonably healthy at the time – by the time we all feel well at the same time it will be summer and flu season will be behind us anyway!
Enough already!
How about one at a time flu shots as each person is reasonably healthy? I argue both ways for flu shots. Get them because they can help protect you against the three types of flu with the highest probability of reaching your area. Don’t worry about getting them because there are a gillion types of flu and the shot only protects against 3 of them. The shot may or may not provide additional protection to reduce the effects of any flu if and when you get it. That said, I get them.
