The kids and I are sick.

We all went off to the doctors this morning where we got the diagnosis of, “You’ve got The Flu. In captial letters. The nasty one.”

The doctor then leaned closer and said quite seriously, “The Flu people can die from.”

I’ve never felt so miserable in my life. So if I’ve got a piece of advice for anyone today it’s this: GO GET A FLU SHOT. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
