So this is excellent. And typical.

Last night I came home from work particularly tired--like I was having serious allergy issues. I felt like I had a slight fever, which is rare. My nose had been running all day, making me cough and upsetting my stomach. I whined at mckitterick as I laid down for a nap about how crappy I was feeling and he popped up with, "Oh, well M (who spent a fair amount of time at our house on Tuesday, including eating dinner with us) has swine flu. He just found out today."

Seriously?

Seriously.

I'm supposed to go to a birthday party tonight in KC. I'm the designated driver. I've already canceled one date with this friend. And I might have swine flu.

Awesome.

I feel so awful canceling on Jason (again). But how much worse will I feel if I give him and the entire birthday party a case of H1N1?

Slight fever, or over 100?

I like the Brit version (http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemic-flu/Pages/QA.aspx#whatis)of the Q & A.
sleep in the spare room, LOL

and this:
Should I have a swine flu party or try to catch swine flu now, so I will be immune to more serious strains that may emerge later?


A Swine Flu Party! What a greeat idea, those silly Brits.

Slight fever, or over 100?

Oh, not nearly that high. My normal temperature is usually only around 97 or a bit above.

Well, that could be a Good Sign that it's not the Dreaded Porcine.

Yay?

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Yah.
Yay.

Mine, too. So when I get a temp of 99 I'm all "FEVER!!1!" and everyone else is all "wha?"

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Srsly. I get up to what counts for normal and I think "uh-oh!"

Parents used to have chicken pox parties when I was young because they just wanted their kids to get it and get it over with.
