Oh yeah, the flu. I meant to get the shot this year, but I learned from @MTSkiBumthat it only lasts for a few months, so the trick is to time it right. They start advertising it in September, which is fairly useless. Mostly I wanted to get it so that I wouldn't contaminate my diabetic daughter, the one who lives in NYC and is visiting us now for the holidays.
Well... something knocked her out in the middle of the night. She thinks it was food poisoning; she had oysters while out with friends last night (although one friend also ate them and feels fine). Thing is, she has always reacted to fever by throwing up, so it's hard to diagnose. Wasn't me, I feel fine. She has basically slept all day. I hope she feels better when she wakes up.
