The past few days have found me quite ill. While I used to pride myself on the fact that I never got sick around yon seventh I found myself struck down in my tracks by the flu or whatever and was bedridden for several days.
This left my dear mama to fend for herself which is something I don't ususually do.
The "crud" is a common term used to describe a range of mild, viral upper respiratory infections, often characterized by symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, and low-grade fever.
WHell ... I don't know just what "mild" implies but my personal feelings are that when you feel you're on your death bed whatever you're going through is ANYTHING but "mild."
Suffice it to say I'm on the mend and will make all attempts not to neglect the blog as recent events forced me to feel as necessary.
