Man, are we ever sick around here.

Daniel sweetly babysat Sam and Rowan and cooked and made tea whilst Ben and I lay around moaning for days.

Now he's got it and Rowan does too. Poor little lambs. I told Sam it's up to him to take care of all of us, 'cause he's the only one who is well! He said he didn't know how, so I said Ben and I would help.

This is quite the ugly flu. Major headache and bodyache, a sore throat and cough that just won't quit, massive drippy/phlegmy overwhelm in the respiratory system...Lame.

D and I have had to skip classes, and I hate to think of the many, many hours of massage piling up for me at the end of the illness tunnel.

On the brighter side, it's been real mellow, sweet and homey around here. Maybe it's just 'cause we're all sick as dogs, but even in the midst of the yucks, I've had this real nice feeling of family.

Taking care of each other.
