Average Jane Is Still Alive

Just checking in to say that despite all evidence to the contrary, I am still clinging to this mortal plane. I was awake briefly this morning, but I didn’t feel like posting another verse and chorus of the "I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ Ta Die Blues," so I just ate breakfast and went back to bed until about 2:30.

I did manage to get my new iMac set up and running with all of my old files and settings. What a lovely beast it is. My eyes hurt too much for me to be able to spend any significant time surfing today, but it’s nice to know it’s there when I’m ready.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I did get a definitive diagnosis of the flu. The doctor stuck a long, brushy thing in my nose and scraped around in a most uncomfortable manner. Ten minutes later she came back and told me I was definitely among the flu-stricken. She says I’m the only person she’s treated so far this year who got a flu shot and managed to get the flu anyway. Lucky me.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I might be well enough to get some work done tomorrow. It’s probably not a good idea for me to actually go into the office, but maybe I can at least work from home instead of sleeping all day. Of course, if today is an indication, that’s a pipe dream.

All of this thinking is making me tired. I think I’m going to go take a shower and lie down some more. May all of you avoid getting the flu this year.
