The Flu
Yep, I’ve got the flu. Not a bad cold, not the kind that makes you live in the bathroom, good old-fashioned influenza. It sucks, really. I’m achy, tired, cold, then hot, hacking, coughing, sneezing. I’m a NyQuil commercial. I went to the doctor, and he said, “Yep, influenza, here’s a prescription for Tamiflu.” One stop at the pharmacy later, and I’m once again glad for my medical coverage. A pack of 10 pills, $113.99! That’s $11.40 per pill!
Geez.
Well, I’ve just about completed my first sock. It’s a simple ribbed sock using Aran weight yarn, so it is going super fast. That’s good, because I don’t have a whole lot of focus right now, and I can’t seem to do more than a couple rows at a time. I’ll post some pictures when I feel good enough to get the camera, and the card reader, and the laptop, and my sock, all at the same time.

Well that bites.
I’m laid up a bit, myself, but not flu-ly – I fell and hit myself with a truck. Brilliant. I’ve discovered that, on painkillers and muscle relaxants, it’s not that I lack focus, exactly – it’s that I’ll do 47 rows without noticing. Must find a simple stockinette/ribbing pattern to do to prevent unnecessary frogging.

That’s too bad, the flu is evil. and DANG about the cost of Tamiflu, what is it made of? Gold? That’s absurd.
Hope you get to feeling better super soon, if you aren’t better already. =)

Really….better your kind of flu than my kind of flu! And I had the flu shot.
