That's it, I'm losing the fight. I feel snippy, nauseous, tired, dizy, grumpy, venty (venti?!), am being insipid and obtuse to boot. I have it: the flu. The weird flu my hubby got.

I've been fighting but I can tell it's a losing battle. J has it, has been fighting but for a couple of nights has complained of a painful tummy. For once I did wish he liked soda so he'd drink a bunch so he could burp and get relief but the few sips he had didn't work so we gave that up. He's better and I'm glad I've not had to deal with the same thing he did (so far, I should say).

Someone told me the genesis of the yearly batch of flu vaccines is Chinese chickens. Or was it geese? I don't remember and I can't remember if it's true, either, but if it is, do we then say that the flus we get originate there, too?
