Here is a personal tale of woe...

The weekend was nothing like I imagined it would be. I was supposed to head out of town on Friday afternoon, but that never happened. Why? I got blasted by a nasty case of the flu starting on Thursday night. It was incredibly intense for about 36 hours, and I am still feeling weak and shaken from it. Last night I managed to hold down some soup, and that was an unbelievable thrill for me. I have not had a case of the flu like this in years. It was a gift from my brother-in-law. He showed up on Christmas morning just recovering from it and, well, I didn't know I had received the surprise package.

I was miserable. That's about the only way I can describe it. Sitting up made me woozy, and looking at a computer monitor made me sick to my stomach if I stared at for longer than five minutes. Even now it makes me a little lightheaded. This was about the least amount of fun I could have imagined for the holidays. I am hopeful that I am now innoculated against any further incidents.

I will try to get some writing done, but I can't promise anything too extraordinary.

Still a recovering little draconis,

Drake
