I tried, really tried, to come up with a good and interesting post for today, but most of my family has the H1N1 flu and I just can’t seem to focus my mind enough to write.
So I decided to share some of the random thoughts that have been running through my mind.
For instance, I lay awake last night wondering where Gatorade got its name.
And, how did we survive before Puffs starting putting lotion in tissues? I must admit though that the tissues with the Vicks Vaporub in them make me nauseous.
Why does my sweet little Ashley’s voice start sounding like an emphysemic old man’s voice when she has the flu?
And why should I have to choose between taking Tamiflu to make myself weather the flu better or not taking it and building a resistance to H1N1? I opted for the Tamiflu and will just renew my search for the H1N1 vaccine when I am feeling better.
Even though I’ve been really sick, I still feel guilty staying in my pajamas and robe all day long. I know it’s silly because no one I know will come within 100 feet of my house now that they know I have the flu.
And, do you think the crazy people on the Jerry Springer Show are all actors, or truly are there women who married men who are really in love with other men who are becoming women?
Finally, is the flu just God’s way of making me slow down and get some much needed rest? If so, God, do you think we could discuss some other alternatives?

Hope your family is well again soon. You show how your fevered mind can still bring a smile to my face.
I know the flu isn’t funny, but this post sure was. Hang in there. Hope you all get better soon.
Aw, I hope everyone is on the mend soon! As for Jerry Springer show .. I hope they are actors. Can you imagine if those freaky people REALLY live in our neighborhoods!!
Hope you are already better. Ha! I just realized that this very tired mind should go to bed because your comment about Jerry Springer did not get through the fog. I thought you were talking about Jerry Seinfeld and I was thinking yes, they are actors and I don’t remember that episode. LOL
Gatorade gets its name from the Florida Gators. It was developed at that school. I love your writing. Thank-you.
