2012-02-23 - I have the Flu

But that is not all, for in having the flu I have learned some things. Apparently if you live alone no one cleans your house when you are sick. Also apparently no one goes out and buys you cold drugs and ginger ale when you are sick. I am very bummed by this. Another thing I learned is that cats will not only refuse to feed you when you are sick but they will also not feed themselves. They demand that you pick your decaying corpse up off of the couch and drag it into the kitchen to provide them their required nourishment, which is in fitting with their general character. I have not learned anything else.

P.S. Though, why is it that we say “A cold” but “The Flu”? One of the reasons the flu is so bad is that there are many strains of it that keep mutating as they enter and leave people. If there was one definite flu you would only have to beat it once and you’d be safe for life. That is unless you got a cold.
