The flu on Valentine’s Day

February 15, 2008

If there is ever a day that one should never have the flu, in my opinion is on February 14th, Valentine’s Day! It never fails, this particular date love seems to bite me, with a cold usually, not the flu! Yesterday I was hot, clammy, and very, very sick! I could not keep anything down until later in the day and my head was throbbing so bad, is not funny. I had planned on baking goodies for my family for Valentine’s Day but heck I didn’t even cook dinner. They did enjoy having pizza for their dinner though.

Not that I think one should get the flu any other day of the week, but Valentine’s Day is a special day. I remember my first Valentine’s Day with my hubby, we were in the dating phase then, and he was so sweet, I got such a beautiful card and a beanie baby bear. I still have them. I remember he drove all that way in the nasty snow to come visit me, as you see we lived an hour a part. He didn’t get home until after 11 and he had to be at work at 5 in the morning. I will always remember that Valentine’s Day. But ever since then it seems I get a cold, and perhaps its my body’s way of remembering that first Valentine’s Day!

So today I feel a little better, my head does not hurt and for me that progress! Going to take it easy and relax today. I was up a lot during the night, well every hour, thirsty so I was drinking some Ginger Ale (no still no O.J. in the house). Let’s see what the day brings today!
