Down With The Flu!!!

Eeew, the flu. A curse from the heavens if ever there was one. Sickly, nasty, phlegm-producing flu. Bain of all who have too much work in their universes already. Get rid of it, I say. Mankind has no need of such a vile, contemptuous little bug! Join me, all, as I call for the flu's forceful ejection from Planet Earth. Down With The Flu!!!

I’ve been laid up with it for four days now. I’m finally back at work, but UGH! That was a rough four days! 101 temperatures and nasty body aches…I can live without them, thank you very much! The worst part was my wife and I were both sick. Normally, when she is sick, I take care of her, and when I am sick, she takes care of me. But when we are both sick, we are totally useless. Bleaaacchh!!

Anyway, I’m better now. Not 100%, but much, much better. And while we were out the Direct TV guy came and set up our HD package. NFL Network is awesome! I may never watch another station again…except when Lost is on (Lost looks friggin’ awesome in HD, BTW). Oh, and Spongebob, too. Now he’s on more often, which is cool. I luv that little guy!

Anyhoo, y’all are probably wondering about the Big News I mentioned last time, right? Well...me, too. My friend hasn’t announced the news yet, and I am still waiting on the details myself. Which stinks. Again, it’s not MY big news (wish it was), but it’s always nice to see lightning strike so close to home, y’know? Lets me know it can be done, as long as I don’t give up. So I’m anxiously awaiting the opportunity to let y’all know which friend of mine is next in line for the big time. It’s coming…don’t you worry.

Last, but never least, my friend Tyhitia finally sent me her MS to beta read. Woo hoo! I’ve been waiting on that one for months. No, I can’t tell y’all anything about it, but as I read it I’ll be sure to tease you about how I can read it and you can’t (hehehe).

See Y’all!

I dunno if it's the same bug that has been hitting everywhere else, but it sure was a nasty piece of work. I've had the flu once before, but it wasn't as bad as this one (or maybe memory just fails me....who knows?)

NFL Network is AWESOME. :) The one bright spot of my flu-induced absence from work (Ok, ok...I played a little Madden 08 on the Wii, too.... couldn't help it).

Glad you're feeling better . . . still waiting for that news! (But one thing I learned from selling my book is that news takes a long time from when you get it, to when you can share it.)

HD huh? Lucky, lucky you, Dave. I've had the flu more than enough times in my life to sympathize. Terrible.

Spongebob? Really? And my step-father calls anime "funnies" (even though I normally watch the action/spec-fic type, like "Ghost in the Shell"). The only time Spongebob is on my tv (or my computer for that matter, since there are plenty of sites to watch full episodes of your favorite shows) is when my son watches it. But I do have to admit, that little guy is funny...

Oh, yeah, Michael. Spongebob is funny! The new ones are getting pretty weird, but the old ones are classics. :)

Ah, you weren't too sick to skip TV watching, eh? LOL. Glad you're feeling better. Hey, you should be reading, not wathing TV! ;*)
