Something About Socks. And the Flu.

I wrote a blog post the other day. Longhand because I've had the flu and haven't been out of bed since my last blog post almost a week ago.

But as I read my paper over this morning, ready to type it in, and definitely proud of myself for managing to write whilst sick with the flu... I saw that it was just something about Annelie taking off my socks.

Yeah. Socks. It was clearly brilliant. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out anything I wrote other than "Annelie took off my socks..." because it mostly looked like I was just practicing writing out the alphabet rather than saying anything halfway intelligent... so that is all I am able to leave you with. Socks.

(Although I can vaguely remember being so sick and miserable that I wanted to die and knew that the key to my well-being rested solely on whether or not Annelie could take off my socks, which she did, and that is probably why I am alive today)

Wishing you all the very best health this cold and flu season! All four of us Hopkins were knocked out at the same time which was rough. But we are all well, and now I'm trying to get caught back up with life, which is never easy to do!

Happy Tuesday to you!

    Socks can make or break you sometimes... and other times it's just about having someone who cares enough about you to wrestle with said socks. Glad you're feeling better! I'm fending off some awful thing on a continuous basis. Just as I seem to be kicking it's butt, one of mom's preschoolers introduces a new strain of ick and I'm back as square one. Totally going to check out that tea in your picture...

    I love it. Nothing like writing under the influence of flu induced delirium. I would have loved it if it was something about your socks talking to you :)

    Glad you feel better. I still hold fast that I indeed did not give you that bug over the phone. Just sayin.

    Hahahhahaha, SOCKS.
    Whoa.
    Well, hope your family's on the mend! Mine came down with colds. Yeah. SO fun. Most of us are healing quite well, though.
