Sick

From all of my symptoms I'd say I have the flu.  I've never had it before and it's not fun.  I had a flu shot earlier this year, but as they point out it does not make you immune to getting the flu.  There are diffenrent strians of the flu so i guess mine is one they didn't put in the shot this year.
Anyhow I'm feeling miserable.  My stepdaughter wants to come over and take care of me, but I don't want her to get it and take it home to her little family.  Dad thinks someone put something in my food(he's paranoid, another sign of his mental illness) and wants to come over but I'm just not up to dealing with him now and I don't want him to get this either.
So, I'm alone.  I can't even get to close to the bird because some things they really can get from us.  This is one time I'm glad that I'm an introvert.
