The Flu?

Maybe.  I was feverish and achy, chilled and sweating.  I was nauseous.  My sinuses ached.  The coughing, though, was the worst part.  I'd cough until I'd gag, cough until I almost passed out. 

It's been four days, now.  I'd lost track of time and let so many things pile up around me - emails, phone messages, half-edited articles, dirty dishes....  I'm up and around today, finally, and taking it all in.  What a workload.

So far, Kenzie and Terry seem fine.  (Crossing fingers.)
