Letters to Flu Virus

Dear Flu,

You suck. You're relentless and harsh. You come with a vengeance, leaving me quarantined and isolated from the world, and leave behind a funky, stagnant feeling in my home. And you do strange things to people. When you infect my husband, you turn him into a "sad, lethargic, needy one who feebly appreciates Tylenol brought to his bedside every so often while he lays sleeping and sweating out his fever in the guest room" type. But when I get you, you turn the very same man into more of the "annoyed with me for planning on getting you right at a pinnacle time at his work" type. And for that, you are a twisted and sick little sickness.
So I hate you, flu. I hate you for all the misery you cause in people's lives and for that stagnant air you leave behind. I wish you would die forever and burn in the flames of eternal flu damnation for all of eternity.

Aahhh. Now I'm starting to feel better already.


So, I had the flu the last couple of days. It was actually horrible, and so was my husband for a short period of time. But when he realized he was being a touch insensitive and that contracting this virus was completely accidental on my part, he became kind. And thank the Lord for that because for a second there I thought I was going to have to wipe my nose on his pillow case or brush my teeth with his toothbrush.

On a happier note, Yay for Easter coming up. I love Easter. "Thank you Easter Bunny!! Bwaak Bwaak!!"


Peace, Love, and Flu Freedom

I'm so sorry. I am glad you spared Matt the full post-flu wrath.
And, thanks for the "Thank you Easter bunny!" memory. I loved that commercial.

Sorry you had the flu and so late in the season! It's one thing to have the flu in the Winter...I can imagine having it the Spring sucks even worse.

Yes, I too love your pics up top...making me smile!

I can always count on you for a good laugh. Your pics are great. We all had the flu a couple of weeks ago, I feel your pain. I love the letter:)

How dare you get the flu at a pinnacle time in Matt's career! You probably rubbed your face all over Matt's sheets while he was sick so that you could make his life miserable:) Gotta love those men
