The Bird Flu

george bush is very concerned about a potential avian flu epidemic hitting the united states.  so he's ordered a pre-emptive strike of the canary islands.

i've been struck down with the flu.  i've spent a couple of days home, but haven't had the energy to knit much, blog, read blogs, or even eat.  you know i'm sick when i'm skipping meals. 

i feel a little bit better today.  fever's broken.  the aches are gone.  the bulging goiter-like lymph gland type thingy in my neck has receded.  and the appetite is coming back (you win some, you lose some). 

i did manage to make a couple of things during my fever-induced haze, but i don't have the energy to post pictures tonight.  maybe tomorrow.
