Flu Season With the ShepAlders

These objects have become commonplace in our house this past week!

It turns out that even we are not immune to the flu, though we were having a good run of it there for awhile. Josh definitely got the worst of it, as he was sick from Thursdayish and is STILL SICK. He has mostly had a sore throat and a cough, which has made his snoring even worse. I was feeling a low level of sickness earlier last week, and I randomly started sleeping a lot, so I figured that I passed Josh something that didn't actually make me very sick, but I was wrong.

On Sunday when I got back from church (Josh was WAY to sick to come with me), I took a nap that lasted for seven hours and when I woke up I was sick with a fever, body aches, and a stuffed nose. That pretty much lasted until Tuesday. For those few days, whenever I woke up I would just eat because I was ravenous, take medication because I hurt, and try to drink water so I wouldn't get dehydrated and die. My temperature got up to 101 degrees, but that was really the worst of it. I felt like I was freezing and burning up at the same time because my body was giving off so much heat.

It wasn't fun, but I think we're pretty much over it for now. This may have been the first time Josh has been so sick since we've been together. Josh doesn't get sick very often. I, on the other hand, get sick all the time. So this was the first time Josh was sick and I wasn't (for the most part), though Josh wasn't that demanding like I am when I'm sick (and not sick).

We decided to sequester the cats while we were sick and I just let them out today. When I opened the door to the Bonus Room, it was like a cat stampede! That is, until I put food in their bowl and they were all clamoring to get back in the room.

So this is all why I've taken a break from continuing my DC posts, but more are coming soon.

P.S.
17 days 'til BNAT!
