flu bug

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 6:35 am

Can you believe I didn't even get outside today? I mean, other than opening the door to let Max out. DD, I'm afraid, has that flu bug that's running rampant through the schools, her temp tonight kept jumping up to 101. Had to go to the school and get her yesterday- I had scheduled to take her for her flu shot in the afternoon. But with her immune system already battling the bug, it was a little pointless. She was actually sleeping sitting in front of the tv this afternoon- not sleeping on the sofa, sleeping sitting up on the floor! Poor little muffin. So it's lots of fluids and keep an eye on the temp. Grammy is going to watch her in the morning so DH & I can go out for fancy coffee.
Gotta go find some brilliant ideas for growing lettuces. I think I'll just plant lots of lettuce and those little yellow pear-tomatos this year. I'm tired of trying to grow fancy things that just fail, and our weather pattern here has definitely changed so I don't even know what zone to call it. besides, I love tomatos!
Doggone goat got out today somehow. Ate part of a rhodie, hope she doesn't get sick. Oh yeah, that's when I went out. In my pajamas and rubber boots!
Big Valentines wishes to the Stew!

Fingers crossed that the 'flu bug passes on soon and that you don't pick it up from your daughter. Wish her well from me won't you?

Hope your daughter feels better soon.
My friend's goat ate a large amount of rhododendron then got locked in the tack room and was very sick all over everything. She said it took ages for all that leather to quit stinking.
The goat lived but my friend wanted to kill her!
Hope you have a nice coffee date.

Sure hope your daughter gets better soon.
My oldest grandson has been home with it since Sunday. I think Lisa said that for the last week or so they have been averaging 30% of the students and teachers out.

Sorry I had to laugh when I read about your goat - I could just picture you in pajamas and rubber boots chasing a goat - too funny.

Especially with the big tropical flowers splashed all over them!
DD seems to be feeling better this morning (she's nonverbal so I can't really tell much) but now DS is home, and agonizing over the possibility of missing work all weekend.
