Flu season

My daughters have the flu. One would think that being off from the day job means that I'd get more writing done, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I get less.

I do get a little more reading and TV viewing done. Being sick means wanting Mom in the room, and also wanting Mom at your beck and call. You know, more water. More food. More medicine. More hugs. More back rubs. That kind of thing.

My concentration is not on my lastest work. Instead, I'm distracted and worried. Not focused at all.

The flu last on average 10 days. Usually kids start to feel better about day 7. I'm there with one, two more days with the other.

Wish me luck.
