Swine Flu

I hate to have to discuss this topic but it seems to be on everyone's tongue. I don't know much but I know I hate the flu... sang to the old school tune by Aaron Neville.


After my last post, literally the day after, I became so violently ill, I missed school for nearly a week! Did I have swine flu? Probably not. Please, remember folks, regular ole no-name flu can kill you too- swine flu is just like it's roided out cousin.


I doubt anyone likes getting sick and least of all when their isn't a caring, nurturing someone to baby you like Danny Tanner took care of Stephanie in that episode she kept proclaiming, "I'm siiiiiiiiiiick." I feel you girl!


I'll spare you the gory details but I was not a happy camper- especially because I'd had such an amazing night before the fevers, chills, and being debilitated.


Anyway, I was out of comission for a week, but I'm good now, and it certainly isn't my excuse for not writing in nearly a month. The real reason is, I didn't want to make my posts like a journal- I wanted to write insightful, humorous tidbits for all to enjoy. That is why I started (after a suggestion from a friend) to write "Morning Pages." She told me to grab a little journal write what's stuffing up my brain for 3 pages and not look back. I have found this exercise to be welcome and at the same time slow to become a habit. I miss a couple days and then out of guilt I write 9 pages... I can't go on like that! It's not the point! But it certainly does clear up clogs. I remember things better. I have more calm in my day to day, I'm happy to write. Hopefully, I can pick it up and do it everyday (although to be honest mine are more "evening pages" than anything else.)


Anyway this was just a bit of a spew post- where I wrote a couple random thoughts. Swine flu and "morning pages" have no relation except that they are both constants in my life one is visual and one auditory.
