the really horrendous cold/flu thing going around has landed at chez talkingcrow with a thud. b and i are both soudly ill. the beautiful part of that is that the only way to avoid worse pain is when i start coughing is to hold my left knee up to my chest. so attractive.

but i like yarnstorm's description better. her daugher is sick, or as one might say in the UK: "...a poorly girl who is off school with a throat infection".
