Flu

Gah. The flu is simple - get sick as hell for 24-48 hours, then back to normal.
A wicked cold is different - Get kind of sick, know that something is coming, drink juice, think that it’s going away, get lax, have it hit again, drink juice again, watch that fail, get a fever, become motionless, don’t eat for three days, get kind of better, blow nose for two weeks straight, lose ability to talk, avoid dairy alltogether, have difficulty hearing, get random headaches, hack at inopportune times, and have people give you no sympathy because you’ve “only got a cold”.
Bastards. Welcome back to the blog. The writing juices are eventually going to flow again. I’ve wanted to start to write again, but with my brain being all over the place, I can’t seem to focus my thoughts for over 5 minutes in a row to be able to.
I watched the Super Bowl by myself (my wife was in and out most of the time during the game), and it really just wasn’t that interesting. Super Bowls are meant to be party atmospheres - we normally go over by brother-in-law’s and hang out there, watching the game and eating food and hanging out. We didn’t because his daughter was sick and we didn’t want to risk anyone else getting sick (HA~!). So, instead we watched it at home, and even with my wife’s best efforts to make “football food”, she was still running around in “clean up the house because we’ve been gone for 4 days” mode and I was watching the game by myself, which made it seem less like a Super Bowl and more like a playoff game.
With Daytona on the horizon, I will eventually vent on my NASCAR adventure I had several months ago - I didn’t want to talk about it before because there was a possible job involved, but since that isn’t going to happen, I’ll gladly vent.
Just at another time.
