blah

i've been sick since wednesday. the flu. the kind with the fever and body aches and coughing and runny nose and headache and overall feeling of malaise. do i sound like a page from Web MD or maybe like an ad for tylenol flu? i'm not surprised if i do because i've consumed just about every drug made to combat this type of illness. only most of them have done little to help peel me off the couch. i missed two days of work, i missed out on anything that could have possibly been described as "fun" this weekend, and i also missed several meals due to the flu's appetite numbing symptom. but i haven't missed a single episode of trading spaces or of the search for the ulitmate cyote. i also watched paula dean and her husband, michael, discover europe for the first time together on her Food Network special. twice.

i am ready to feel better now.
