Swine Flu!

Naomi was complaining on Tuesday morning about feeling crappy. She's a bit of a drama queen and hypochondriac so we generally don't take her too seriously. I reached over to touch her forehead and she felt really hot; when I checked her temp she was over 100, so this time at least she was authentically sick. Shannon stayed home with her yesterday; today we tag teamed. I'm much more of a worry wort about this stuff than Shannon so I had her set up a doctors appointment for Naomi and I. We headed off to the doctors where she tested positive for Influenza A. The doctor said it's everywhere now, and almost certainly swine flu. Since swine flu hasn't turned out to be a particularly nasty flu bug I'm not too worried. She is going to be out of school until next Monday though, and with our luck we're going to get it next.

  1. Have the BBQ party this weekend so we can all get exposed and share in the fun! Not.

  2. I was offering to spit in people's coffee at work so that they could get the early, mild version of the flu, but noone took me up on it.

  3. Eeeeewwww, gross. You shouldn't mess with people's coffee. Couldn't you just... lick them or something instead?
