Flu right now. It's exhausting if nothing else. My asthma is adding to the chance of complications or something like that so I'm trying to take it easy. It's incredibly hard to take it easy when you're moving from one apartment to another, working, and teaching a kid's ballet class. It's very difficult. Time to go back to sleep.

He's better now and she never got it, FWIW. Hang in there. The doctors gave my 8mo niece tamiflu as preventative when my 3yo nephew got the flu. He’s better now and she never got it, FWIW.

I wanted to speak last night but didn't know how to reply... Hello Anne (nom de plume) I have been dropping in for a month or so. I say thank you for the time spent here. I am toungue tied to express my compassion for the situation in the following post... Just know that you are appreciated for being YOU, don't worry about what anyone else might think. YES, I realize that this blog is sort of a dichotomy. (did I use the right term?) This is your alter ego, so to speak- but really it is a mirror- and likewise it is a reflection of who you are inside and out. I like you-as it is my knack to see both sides. Actions speak louder than words?! Yes, but putting those sounds into type is an action and therefore the blog speaks! I'm truly sorry you are being conflicted- I speak from experience myself-. Please take care, you ARE a sweetheart, and do what you need, to be good with yourself-your man-and your kids! If blogging here is part of it, YEAH! If not, just be confident that it was a pleasure getting to interact while we did... God speed you on your journey and carry you when you are down.

I have a list of blogs I check several times daily. And one of those blogs is yours. I'm here several times a day, every day, to see if you have anything to share. And I read the good stuff and the bad stuff with equal glee. Also, I totally understand the comment-whore issue and the need to make happy your audience. You should know that we, your audience? Don't need that kind of babysitting. Write what you want when you want to write it, and that'll be just perfect. I'll still come by to check several times a day, every day...

And, I love reading all your posts, sad, funny, angry, whatever. I actually welcome the sad ones because they offer a fuller picture of who you are. FWIW.
