| One Flu Over the Cuckoos Nest |
The flu sucks rocks. Ask me how I know.
What sucks more, is when the 4th of July is like mid-year Christmas to the men in your family and the super, groovy holiday bash is at your house this year. I sooo was not really looking forward to it this year anyway, for one reason or another. But when Monday came and I started developing a nasty case of faucet ass with a side order of nausea, I knew we were in trouble. What's worse is that Queenie woke up feeling the same way and she is my number one best worker around here. I did the running around I had planned, I even cleaned up a little and potted 4 or 5 plants for the patio. Mom was supposed to come over and help me, but she ended up getting a touch of the bug herself. By Tuesday morning, I knew big man was going to be on his own in terms of party prep and hosting. And that? Is a scary thing.
Fortunately, both Queenie and my mother had recovered by the morning of the 4th. I busted my ass to help out, including folding and putting away several loads of laundry. By the time the guests arrived, I was lounging on the couch, which is where I spent most of the day, leaving the guests to enjoy the barbecue and swimming in the back yard.
The fireworks were awesome. Scooby was decidedly unimpressed, but she didn't cry, just reached for her siblings. Apparently I can't protect her when it comes to projectile fireballs in the sky. But Queenie and Pokeboy had the right stuff. She fell asleep in Queenie's lap. I excused myself about halfway through and went to bed. And actually slept, even with all the noise in the front yard.
Thankfully, I woke up to a fairly clean kitchen and yard. Party guests must have taken pity on me and cleaned up before leaving, because there is no way in HELL my husband was that thoughtful.
I'm still not back to normal, 5 days later. I'm back to eating, and sadly the 5 pounds that fell off due to not eating is already back. But, something just isn't "right". Hopefully, a few more days and all will be well. I need to get back in the gym. |
