I’ve been down for the count. This flu has taken me out. I’m still so tired and weak, on a very slow road to recovery. I’m on my second round of antibiotics, and a steroid. Now Nate is getting sick, and Max seems a little warm and grumpy today. I don’t understand why we’re having such a rough time of this. Everyone in the family is dropping one at a time. It’s probably been over 2 months now that someone’s been sick in this house, and I just don’t see an end.

I don’t WANT to learn patience. I’m sick of being patient.
