DH says he had the same flu; pounding headache with the occasional needle through the skull and into the brain, backache so bad I could barely roll over in bed, fever of 38C/100.4F and feeling cold, freezing cold, I'm covered in wool sweaters, socks and blankets and I'm still freezing cold cold. Oh wait! DH didn't have the fever or the cold. Maybe that's why he kept going to work. Maybe that's why he had it for two weeks. He told me his coworkers complained of it getting better and then striking again. I'm not getting hit with it again. I'm taking good care of myself but if it does come back I'll have to suffer through it. Stiff upper lip and all. After insisting he and his cohorts just didn't take care of themselves well enough there's no way I'll admit it if I do get it again.
Asides from being ill I had a lovely week off. DH made me dinner two nights. The first night he fixed me a salad. The second night he made me a salad. The third night I got some leftover turkey soup from Thanksgiving out of the freezer and he heated it up. The next night I decided I'd better get well quick or I'd starve to death and we had a decent meal. Dam his mother for not teaching him to cook. I'd give it a go but he never listens to me. This coming week will be so busy. We have a house guest coming to stay and I want to sew some room darkening curtain liners for the guest room windows and of course the house needs to be cleaned from top to bottom and I suppose it would be appreciated if I chased that fuzzy green thing out of the back of the fridge and maybe I should scrub the crusty char on the floor of my oven.......What am I saying? Oh dear! I think that flu's coming back......
