Just look at the time! Well my last 48 hours have been hell. Thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room last night about this time... Man! So I guess I had a pretty good fever and a real nasty flu. You see with the CFIDS my body can only take so much and then it just gives up for a while. And it gave up last night!

I had gone to meet Bridget at the bus stop as grandma has the flu now and couldn’t do it. I stayed a while not feeling up to walking back home right away. Got home took a nap with the fan on as I was hot. I just kept getting hotter, and hotter, and hotter; and I don’t mean that in a good way either! So then my body started to heat hive and rash out! I was crying and scratching and putting Caladril on all my parts I could reach. Finally I took the last pain pill I had from my tooth pull in March and a anti histamine and my sleeping pill.... About 2 am I could fall asleep. Thank God!

This morning I felt better, not great, but better. Guess the fever broke. Now I still itch and have dry spots and left over hives... it’s really not pretty, but I feel better. Though some of the hives now may be put to me not really wanting to go to group on Monday.

Didn’t do much today. Maxx came over after work and we listened to music while he burned some CD’s. I got two new CD’s out of it Vanessa Mack “Storm,” and Shakira “Laundry Service”. I am playing “Eyes Like Yours” over and over off the Shakira CD, I LOVE IT! Never really knew much about either artist, like both CC’s a lot!

So Sunday is letter writing day, got a letter from my Sister today... man has stuff been going on in her life the last few months! You know for years I have prayed for a calm, simple, life and it has never happened. Well after reading her letter I think it’s genetic how my life is, cause her’s is pretty much the same way, Christ! Death, family troubles, broken body parts you know all those day to day things that we have grown to accept in our lives. Oh well we manage and get through it and laugh about it while rolling our eyes, and wondering what will happen next!

Got a nice long letter from Charley.... and my friend Jan.... All pages, two hand written. I also have a pile next to the computer to answer too. So I guess it will be a nice thing to do to still keep taking care of myself and not do too much to recover from this flu and the last 48 hours. Should have guessed something was up with me as I had been going in and out of the darkness the last week, didn’t think I was so sick, but the good thing.... no, not one, destructive thought! I got to give Dr. McDavid a BIG hug when I see him in two weeks!!!! Be good to you and a BIG hug too!
