A mere five days before my flu shot appointment, Mom and I have contracted the flu.
It Figures.
I have barfed so loud and long that my previous experience with bulimia seems almost like a delicately-puking dream, and that’s saying a lot.
My mother has not left her bed in two days except for two minutes in which she informed my son that he shouldn’t wear those ugly black Converse to the movies. This I can understand, as she is President of the Order of the White Tennis Shoe, with Keds Honors.
I feel like my head is swimming. What I don’t know is this: Do I still need to get a flu shot to protect me from further onslaughts, or am I done? I doubt I’m done, really, as the flu seems to hit me again and again without mercy.
I’m up to twenty-seven pounds lost, but I suppose at least five of that is from this current round of robo-barfing.
I keep checking on my mother, who is shivering underneath a heavy mound of afghans. She looks even paler than I do, if such a thing is possible.
The J-Man is out seeing the new Bruce Willis movie with my father. Both are extremely afraid of being anywhere near my mother and I, infectious as we probably are.
Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes I have been lying on the couch watching Lifetime movies for two days now, which really should be enough to make me commit suicide. Yesterday they had a brilliant one that featured a skanky Crazy Anne Heche and also Crazy Eric Roberts, and it was a gorgeous, insane thing that even incorporated wife-beating, without which Lifetime would have very little material.
So, that’s pretty much it for me and the weekend. I am dyingdyingdying to get out of the house, but it’s going to have to wait until next weekend, I guess.
Barfing in public is really not my thing, although those of you who have been at Weetacon with me may disagree.
Weetacon! It’s coming up in March and I Cannot Wait.
Happy Sunday.
Sorry you and your mom are sick. I hope for both of your sakes that your son doesn’t get it too! Congrats on the weight loss! I have fibromyalgia and my worst area is my hips. I have put on almost 100 lbs in 2 years. Are you using Alli or something else? It is SO HARD to exercise, so I’ll thank you in advance for your wisdom!
Eric Robets is the CATS PAJAMAS. I LOVE that guy…
Hope you feel better soon… That flu is horrible.
Speaking of Weet… I wonder if I ever met her? I lived by her (within half a mile or so?) for 20 years or so…
It sounds like you have a stomach virus. Influenza, the flu you get the shot for, is a head/chest thing, more like bronchitis. So, get the shot, b/c what you have now is not the same thing.
