The FLU!!! YAAAY!!!
Sorry about the lack of posting. I haven't even touched a keyboard since my Christmas day phone post.
I have no idea where the bug came from. In spite of my misery, I decided that I was still going to finish painting my basement this weekend, so I soldiered on downstairs to get things done. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I got a dandy allergic reaction from my late afternoon chicken salad. The real unfortunate part is that I love chicken salad.
So then I was even more determined to finish that damned basement. Meanwhile my skin was a charred orange color (a bad John Kerry orangish tan - you know the type) with the exception of the quarter sized hives, which were bleach white.
When my wife laid eyes on me she insisted that I call it quits, and after feeding me a couple of benedryl it was off to la-la land. Sunday I just parked my miserable ass in the recliner and took a break.
So now things should be back to normal. I still feel the occasional rumble in my guts, but overall I'm glad that the bug is gone.

It's that time of year, man. I can pretty much set my calendar up to getting the flu right before ringing in the new year. Sucks having to work three times as hard to get half as much work done because you feel like a bag of crap.
You allergic to poultry or just something funky in there? For me, celery or carrots are an almost certain trip to a benadryl-induced coma.
