So, I spent the weekend tending my sick husband, who I firmly believe has...
TEH SWINE FLU! OMGOSH!
(Unrelated aside: I think internet lingo and LOLcat speak and all that stuff is freaking hilarious, and I love using it. But my conscience won't let me use OMG and WTF, so I have to use OMGOSH or WTH or similar. Does anyone else do this?)(Oops, I just used OMG and WTF! Crap!)(ACK! I did it again! Sorry!)
What was I talking about?
Oh yeah. TEH SWINE FLU OMGOODNESS!
My husband has not actually been tested, so I guess we can't say with all certainty that he does in fact have swine flu. But he has all the symptoms (including nausea and puking, wheeee!), and he already got the regular flu shot, and it has been confirmed to be going around at the seminary we attend. So, there you go. It's confirmed in my mind.
Of course, I was pretty sure I had the swine flu back in the spring, and that turned out to be strep throat. But this is different!
Thus far I have not caught it. And I pray fervently that I do not catch it because I am all out of sick time at work!
The only upshot to his illness is that it has allowed me to play nurse, and I just love fussing over him when he doesn't feel well. I ran to the store to stock up on medicines and fruit smoothies, I have taken his temperature dozens of times, tucked him under the covers on the couch with mugs of hot tea, I even cooked some homemade chicken soup! I just love showing my love through this kind of attentive service. Isn't that so sweet you could puke?
So, the lesson of the day is: WASH YOUR HANDS! AND COUGH IN YOUR ELBOWS! AND DON'T KISS ANY PIGGIES!
