Just hollerin to everyone. Still alive. Everyone in the house has been really sick for a week now. I had a temp of 103 for about 4 days and couldn't hold much down. I lost about 4 lbs. My boy after two bouts with strep, now has my flu and possibly scarlitina (sp?), my daughter has had a chronic cough for a month. My wife has been lucky and was only midly sick for about 2 days. Mom was the same. But we are a rough bunch around here. Sounds like a ICU ward at night with all the hacking and coughing, and the smell of medicine in the air. But we're coming around just in time for Christmas. House is coming along. The kitchen in now gutted, we're just awaiting the new cupboards. Lost a lot of time with this flu, I've been tied to a bed for almost 7 days now. Not to mention the 2 feet of snow we had to clear from my now much larger driveway and roof. Yeah, just after I finished with the 18" from last time! Welcome to winter in NY. Anyhow, I'm obviously not here much, so if I missed anyone's posts, TOO BAD! LOL No really, sorry, just e-mail me. I check that at least every 2 days.
