I hate being sick. I hate the sneezing, coughing, and runny noses. I especially hate the raw skin on your nose from excessive blowing. Yes you can safely assume that I too have fallen victim to the evil flu bug. Why didn’t you get a flu shot, you may well ask. I have an allergy to the medium in which they grown the flu vaccine. However, even it that weren’t the case it wouldn’t matter, I still would have gotten it, because unfortunately the strain of flu that is laying everyone low wasn’t covered by this year’s flu shot. If you weren’t already aware, the flu shot that is given out each year is based upon the strains from the previous flu season. Apparently, this little vicious bug is a new kid on the block.

So I say all this to say what. Basically I’ve been sick as a dog and completely useless for a while. In fact, I had a chat at CoffeeTime Romance on the 26th of February and I was chatting away tucked in bed with a box of tissues close at hand. Picture if you will me typing a response, then hack up a lung, typing another response, and then violently blowing my nose. A lovely image, no? In retrospect it was sort of amusing. The upside is I’m now well on my way to recovery thanks to a big bottle of Robitussin and multiple boxes of Theraflu. As far as I’m concerned the makers of both medications should be canonized. So what’s on tap for me now? Well my next major event will be RT, I haven’t been in years and I’m really looking forward to going. I’m going to be signing on Wednesday night at their eBook expo, should be really cool!

I’ll pop back in soon with more updates. Until next time, Stay healthy.
