This is what the bug that infected me last week looks like. It's a mean one, I tell you, and I didn't even have that bad a case. It mostly just drained my energy and enthusiasm and brought along body aches and the sniffles for good measure. The real rub is, I take great pains to protect myself by getting a flu shot every year. Cristie on the other hand NEVER gets a flu shot and NEVER gets the flu! Do I need to re-evaluate my affinity for the scientific/medical community I've relied on all these years?
