Not in the mood for it at all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well folks.. I&#8217;m not 100% sure, but I think I have the flu.. I mean THE flu . It&#8217;s been going through our area for the last week. They actually closed the schools in a neighboring town because of it. There asking folks not to come in to the doctor to be checked because it only aids the spread.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not completely sure.. but now I think I have all the symptoms. I woke last night with a high fever, chills aches and cough.. and that&#8217;s kept up mostly though the day. That said.. I don&#8217;t feel any worse than any other flu I&#8217;ve had.I&#8217;ve heard that the strain we have up here is not so bad. I&#8217;ve even heard a few folks say that it&#8217;s better to get it now than when it comes back tr. Evidently there&#8217;s a prediction that it will come back with a vengeance this winter. <\/p>\n<p>All in all.. I&#8217;m feeling only sort of lousy during the day.. We had a bunch of stuff planned for the day.. but I just hung out on the couch for most of the day. Diane took gabe to middlebury for a post season lacrosse tournement.. it&#8217;s tomorrow too.. hope I feel up to going.. I also missed hannah b&#8217;s graduation party and David K&#8217;s barbeque..\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s ok though.. I don&#8217;t feel like moving or talking right now.. <\/p>\n<p>I did make pretty good use of the downtime, though.
