You know it's influeneza when....

• High fever: yes, all five of us at the same time 102 - 103+. It was kind of a weird bonding time, without Abbey, for the five of us at home.
• Headache: yes
• Muscle aches: yes plenty, picture 5 people groaning, walking around as zombies.
• Tiredness and weakness: Daniel ask if perhaps Abbey could come over to open the pop-tab-lid for a can a peaches, since he was struggling to get one opened.
• Exhaustion: yes, extreme. No pictures, you'll have to go elsewhere for those.
• Cough: yes again. The kids think Dee sounds like the squeaker-less penguin from Toy Story.
• And you know it's the flu when Justin looks at his bed and says, "I don't want any cars in my bed". I'm not sure he has ever slept w/o cars for the last 2+ years.

I think we're beginning to mend. Daniel returned to work; hopefully he is not infecting all the customers or any Baumgarten's. (Sherah's wedding is this Saturday.) Wendy actually put on sweat pants today, vs. jammy pants, which has been the standard uniform for the past week. Bob has been working today at home; he was holding his head while looking over plans. This way he can cough the entire time someone is talking to him on the Nextel, recover abit and then give an answer. He does have one minor problem with work at home, Justin wants to run his cars over the streets that are part of the blueprints.
