I rarely get sick, and I thank heaven for that.  For one thing, I don’t have time, and for another thing, I’m a terrible sick person.  The best thing anyone can do for me is to go away until I emerge from the extreme grumpiness illness causes me.

So, I was appalled last week when I seemed to have come down with the flu.  I went to see a movie over the weekend before last – saw Hancock, which was a good flick.  The person I went with got sick a day later, but I didn’t think anything of it.

Then, I got sick.  What a pain.  I figure some idiot in the movie theater should have stayed home rather than spreading germs around!

I looked in the cabinet for medicine to treat flu-type symptoms and found it - it had expired sometime in 2004.

However, I persevered and recovered.  If you need to talk to me, it’s safe now.
