H1N1 Type A Flu: Saturday, Day 6

Woke up to another day of pure health and splendor. The sun was out, and I felt great. Kaoru and I went to the clinic in the morning, where I was declared free of the H1N1... to hell with it, the Swine Flu...and given written permission to return to work on Monday. It's been a strange week. To reiterate:

Monday: Sent home with high fever, diagnosed with Swine Flu.
Tuesday~Thursday: Sick with Swine Flu
Friday: Feel better
Saturday: Doctor says I'm OK to go back to work on Monday

What did I do during all this time? Rest, for the most part. Kaoru and I did rent five DVDs of Dexter, Season Two, which we just finished watching tonight (and why she didn't rent ALL of Season Two I'm not sure, but as all married people know, it is better not to press the matter and just get the rest of the discs tomorrow when I return the first five). 

I also published three photo albums on Facebook, which you can access here if you want:

This was the first time for me to publish photos on Facebook, and I was surprised that it all went so smoothly. And let's see, what else? Oh, I know! I started this blog, and have thus far been pleased with how well the site is working. I swear, two years ago I'd write a post, go to post it, and it would all disappear in cyber limbo, an unpleasant experience at best.

Over the course of the week, I've managed to update both my Facebook status and my daily Tweet using the iPhone app Duo, which takes one message and pushes it to both sites. Since I've been limited to 140 characters, I've been posting pseudo haiku, which I've enjoyed writing.

I've eaten mainly comfort food (thanks, Kaoru) including Mac and Cheese, meatloaf. chicken noodle soup, oven baked chicken, and spaghetti and meatballs (tonight, I cooked for the first time this week). Oh, and Mister Donuts donuts...excellent fever food! And two still in the box for tonight...yum yum.

And today, I washed my car.

It has been years since I've had any flu... I take the yearly shots instead. The Swine Flu unkindly reminded me of how miserable the flu is. I made an appointment to get my regular flu shot today, when I went it to the clinic for clearance. It's been a miserable week, and I recommend that all of you get BOTH types of flu shots when they become available.
