The Flu or Not the Flu...

That is the question

Well, I spoke too soon. I had intended on working on my daughter’s room this past weekend, but things did not turn out as I planned.

As it turned out, my daughter became sick with what we like to call ‘The Crud’ on Wednesday. She ran a low-grade fever, so we knew it wasn’t the flu, more than likely just a cold with a sinus infection. Those things are common in our area this time of year. With the Swine Flu going around everywhere lately, she was not allowed to work for a week (she has a job as a waitress after school). She was not a happy camper.

Next comes me with a low grade fever from another source. I have Crohn’s disease and it likes to rear it’s ugly head now and again when I over-do it from stress, or work, or both. So, I was down for the count for the weekend. Still not 100 percent, but I’ll live.

Between the two of us, it knocked out all our plans for a complete make-over of her room. I did, however rearrange my office to see if it would make me a little more productive. Eh...maybe...maybe not. I still have a ways to go on it as well. It is next on my list of total ‘decoration annihilation’. I use this term because it usually follows that when I start a project it looks as though something has exploded, then it eventually takes shape. Just wait and see, you’ll love it.
