I hate the Flu

I tried my best to keep my husband and I from catching the flu this year……from getting the flu shots in October, trying to avoid seriously crowded places and people, eating right, supplementing right, etc.

I was so delighted that it worked……until last Friday.  Woke up and said Hello to the Flu. damn.

Husband got it first, shared w/me……lovely.  Took me out for almost 2 weeks. I’m sooooooo much better but it’s still here, kicking my butt. Mostly because I’m old and I’m not as strong as I used to be…..nor do I have the lungs I used to have.

But it’s all uphill from here. And I’m got too much to do.

Mostly being with the grandkids. I didn’t see them for a whole week and we all felt the effect and it wasn’t good. Saw them yesterday and they were a little clingy…..but that’s ok. We all depend on each other make each of us feel good.

I’ve never known a relationship like I have with these two little kids…….I knew my own kids loved me but we sure had our differences at the same time. I would have loved to have given them everything but that doesn’t work. But w/the grandkids, I rarely have to correct any behavior, they are eager to please us, and they delight us soooooo much. So I don’t like giving up my time with them. It’s far more important than any vitamin I could take.
