Felled by Captain Trips

You may have noticed a lack of blogging here this week.  There’s a simple reason for that – I’ve been sick.

This year has been a crappy one for my immune system.  Shingles a while ago, and now a particularly awful flu.  The rest of the family have had it as well – the husband got over it in a few days (he’s usually a two sniffs and he’s done with a flu or cold person) and the kidlet has been sick with it for a while, too.  As usual, I seem to come down with it worse than everyone else.  It’s not too bad – I can get out of bed, for example, though showering and doing the bare minimum of housework (yes, I am that kind of person, I pretty much have to be on death’s door before I let everything slide) is taking all of my energy.

Thankfully, the kidlet has been an angel this week, even while he’s been sick himself.  He’s been sleeping like a champ, and happy to play around me while I sit on the couch.  ABC for Kids has helped a lot, too  My mother has been taking him as much as she can, too, and the husband has been home from work early most days.  I have no idea how single parents cope when they’re sick.

Anyway, there has been no writing this week.  Monday, I felt so bad that I wondered if I would ever feel like writing again.  Thankfully, I have been able to read and have been plowing through Trent Jamison’s Deathworks trilogy.  Rereading the first two books (which are even more awesome than I remember them being) and have just started reading the third one.
