Sick of This

My family and I have been sick the last few days. It seems to be a weak version of the flu. We've been really run down and tired with some of the usual "sicky" symptoms. Elijah slept a good 14 hours Sunday going into Monday and I came in a close second. The good news is that none of us have been down and stayed down -- we all have our upswings each day. So if this is really the flu, we've gotten off lucky.

That said I watched a documentary today about the avian flu and it's potential to become a worldwide plague killing hundreds of millions of people and bring civilization to a screeching halt in a few short weeks after the breakout. Ugh. Let's pray that if it happens it won't be that bad.
