I have been down with the flu (not swine, I don't think) since Monday. Well, I should have been down, but I kept trying to deny that I was actually ill so the minute I felt any surge of energy, off I went full tilt. This culminated with a Wednesday evening back to school clothes shopping trip which I am going to blame for knocking me out once and for all. Yesterday I was forced (for reasons that I will not disgust you with) not to leave my house. At 10:30 last night, I was convinced that I was in fact going to die. Craig conveniently out at a band practice - probably best as no one should witness that horrible choice of which 'end' to deal with first. Today, the worst had passed, but still all day in bed. Managed a cup of noodles this afternoon. This is of course impossible timing because term starts on Monday and I have no syllabus prepared. I go to Croatia for a conference in ten days....
