Oink, Oink

It's been a week since my flu symptoms began. I'm learning it's probably the swine flu. Several neighbors have had confirmed cases with their doctors saying that's pretty much the only strain they've seen lately.

Most symptoms are gone now. Cough lingers. My energy should increase as I move around more. As nice as it has been to investigate the blogging world for hours from my sick bed, it's time to get back on track, even if it's a slow track.

New goal: move more. I commit to a 10 minute walk each day and 10 minutes of moving my body rhythmically to music (I'd call it "dancing," except I don't think what I do could be defined as dancing).

Soon I will deal with my "other" swine flu...the kind were I eat like a pig...it has been a real sickness. I want to be cautious about this...nothing radical. I want the changes to stick.

  1. I'm glad you're feeling better, and at least now you have antibodies! I think you are wise to be gentle about resuming the exercise.

  2. Swine flu is no fun! 6 of my 7 kids had it and the cough did linger on, and on, and on! I'm so glad that you are feeling better now. Did your kids get it?

  3. My 8 and 9 yr olds are getting it now. My 4 yr old seemed to have it (or something milder) for one day (the day I began feeling off).

    I just put together my first ever playlist today so I can have fun music to move to. It's on the very bottom of blog. Larkspur, your "Big N Chunky" song inspired me and I included it on the list.

  4. Gina - I'm sorry they got it (or are getting it.) We've never watched so much television in one week when all the kids had it.

    Take care,
    Diane

  5. Aw, what a completely dear picture. You're both adorable and my gosh does he look French! (I spent six weeks in Haute Savoie when I was a teen.)

  6. Danny used to go skiing there and says there's great fondue. Danny lived North in Alsace (Strasburg). Do you wish you could go back?

  7. Oh yes, it was lovely. I haven't been back to Europe since. Do you go there for visits?

  8. I've visited my in-laws twice in our 14 years. My husband has been trying to take our oldest two the past few years.
