I am deeply, utterly frustrated.

choirboypuppy and I are supposed to leave for Baltimore to visit my mom at 0-dark-hundred in the morning tomorrow.

I have managed to dodge the bullet till now on this flu thing going around, despite...um...intimate proximity to folks who have had it. Till now. I started feeling sick early this afternoon. Similar symptoms to what friends have had: nausea, stomach cramps, woozy, achey, weak, tightness/pain in my neck and upper back. I slept the afternoon away and woke up feeling much the same. No fever, just cruddy.

My mom has an almost pathological fear about being around people who are sick. She doesn't want me to come if I might be sick.

I could wake up tomorrow and feel fine.

I could wake up tomorrow and feel like crap.

I could wake up tomorrow feeling about the same, puddle-jump my way across the continent on Southwest and feel better when I get there.

I could wake up tomorrow feeling about the same, puddle-jump etc etc, and end up sick at my Mom's place (an assisted living facility -- the Pup and I are renting a room there while we're there).

This "President's Day Week" is my son's only vacation of any length until summer. If we don't go now, he probably won't see his Nana till summer.

I had to cancel my date with ag_unicorn tonight -- yes, I know, love, getting healthy is the most important thing for me to do, but....aaaauuuugh.

Just aaauugggh all around.

EDIT: I'm running a fever after all. It's still low-grade (100.3), but it means sick. Trip is cancelled.

Aaaauuggh.

Although he has been the soul of solicitude, feeding me tea and rubbing my shoulders, I'm sure that choirboypuppy would love to do something this week that doesn't include sitting at home and watching me be miserable. Anyone interested in playdates? _please?

Thanks. You, too.

p.s. I love your icon. Doggy kisses can cure anything that ails you.
