Please send chicken soup. And tequila.

Three down with the flu in our house. I am the last one standing. Jilli was diagnosed Thursday and seems about 75% improved. Rory doesn't seem to feel awful but still has the fever, and an ear infection, and the flu. Jeff is holed up in our room with explicit instructions not to come out or TOUCH anything until his fever has broken. I may have to revise my instructions as I have big, huge work things starting Monday and going through next week and I have to go into the office at some point this weekend. For now I have a bottle of clorox everywhere spray attached to my hip and am spraying everything that stays still for more than two seconds.



We are all ingesting Tamiflu (which the CDC has warned may not be effective against this year's flu.) Supposedly this year's flu shot was well matched to the actual strains but I have my doubts since both girls got the shot. I am considering my boss's advice to sacrifice a goat in the backyard.
