Hi Delilah,
I hope you feel better soon. That's nice of your husband to take off work to help you. You're a kind soul and I wish you the best.
I had a nasty cold last month, not the flu. It was frustrating because I was working a seasonal job at a kiosk for Hickory Farms at a mall and the foot traffic was really slow, which made the job boring.
As Xmas drew near, business started to pick up, and the job became less drudgery. I don't mind ringing people up all day, but standing there staring into space with a sample on a toothpick and no one walking by makes the time go really slow.
Unfortunately I missed the 2 weeks before Xmas due to the nasty cold. Then it would have been more like a regular job. But doling out food samples with a runny nose having to get out the handkerchief every 2 minutes wasn't workable.
Oh well. There is a certain perverse satisfaction in being sick. You have an excuse to be a lazy bum and just lay in bed all day, drifting in and out of consciousness.
