    Oh Nanci, I am so sorry to hear this.

    Flu

    Last night, when I could not sleep due to profuse sweating and discomfort, it really should have been a clue. It was not. This morning, still clueless, just knew I was hot and felt icky. It took me almost not making it to the bathroom and another incident of almost puking on my son (he was lying on the floor reading) for me to officially declare I have the freakin flu.

    Now I am hot, sick, cannot sleep, bored, hot, miserbale and I am grumpy.
    DH went out in the rainstorm for ginger ale and popsicles. Did I mention how freaking hot I am????

    CC-I am using the t-shirt as a sleep shirt. I absolutely love it!!! The design and story are beautiful. I am hoping it brightens me up and brings me luck.

    Hey Jennifer,
    get well soon. I hear this is going around!

    I just dipped about 30 chestnuts into chocolate. They are in the fridge now.

    Mimi,
    I really liked that jersey and the shorts were awesome. Enjoy the catalogue and the chocolate covered chestnuts.

    Poor Jennifer!
    You need the flu like a hole in the head. Please rest and then more rest. Lots of (non-caff) tea with honey and lots of sleep.
    Get well and feel better.

    BM3 - sure hope you're feeling better asap. I agree with Lisa - you definitely don't need this...

    Nanci - how's the mouse staying down??? Crossing my fingers.

    Mimi - I've never had chocolate dipped chestnuts. In fact, not sure I've ever eaten chestnuts at all. Should I be trying some?

    Nanci - our chickens used to do that sometimes on the farm. Keeping them less stressed seemed to help but it seemed once they started, it was hard to stop them.

    I've been searching online for training suggestions for doing a double. There's so much variety out there. Anyone got a site they recommend? I have decided that I'm going to try to train hard for the banff-jasper ride next June and see if I am able to manage to do it, on my own, if not with the boys...
