Our celebration plans changed drastically today- but Mother's Day was still nice. My sis's family ended up attending a softball tournament that they hadn't known was occurring... and since I only got a couple hours sleep after working a couple extra hours, and they weren't due home until after 3:00PM, we knew we'd all be pooped, so we decided to take the eazy way out and pick-up Pizza Hut! Then after planting a few flowering bushes and such in sis's back yard for my Mom (she keeps a tiny garden patch she call "her's" at sis's place) and for sis, we strolled up-town for Opening Day of the season at the Dairy Barn and we all had various ice-cream treats. After several rounds of Chinese Checkers out on the patio as the sun set, I drove Mom back home.

Now, here I sit and guess what? I feel shivery, warm, moist, dry & clammy all at the same time. Yep, you guessed it- I worked all weekend w/ a co-worker who returned a bit too early from a flu absence. Ugh! I'm pumped-up on aspirin and am sucking OJ outta TWO straws to try and nip this thang in the bud and head it off at the pass before it blossoms into full-blown- whatever. Yikes & Yowza! I feel the Contact Cold & Flu tabs kicking-in too... can you say DROWWWWZY? (NIght-Night all!)


Sounds like you all had a great Mom's Day celebration! Sorry you are not feeling well, hope it's a short-lived bug! As a person who has "perfume allergies" I know some good perfumes that will not trigger allergy headaches...one of my favorite is Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia, also Poision and an old Avon favorite of mine is Mezmerize for Women. All these are georgeous scents that last all day and you only need a quick spray at the pulse points. The Poision is expensive, Gardenia next in expense, lastly Mezmerize the cheapest.

Well, after a day-and-a-half of laying down, being lazy and "sweating it out" I am feeling better... the fever is gone, I'm not so congested, and the headaches are disappeared. JUST in time to return to work- Ha! I musta drank a bath-tub full of OJ and ate aspirin like they were popcorn! :)

Glad you're feeling better Bro! I have so many friends who have been sick these past few weeks! I am so-o-o-o glad I got the flu shot. I am not playing around, I am getting one every year from now on...being sick just bites:(
