I’ve been kidding myself and I suppose you all knew that, right?\u00a0 It’s definitely flu and since I got a flu shot months ago and I’ve got all the symptoms except fever — I’m guessing swine flu.\u00a0 I have asthma and allergies and the past three days I’ve been forced to use my rescue inhaler.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t sound too bad unless you know that normally, I use the rescue inhaler one a month when I go to a meeting that’s at a house with two dogs, two cats, and a bunny (all indoors).\u00a0 On that evening I usually have to use the inhaler once maybe twice depending on how long I’m there.\u00a0 Yesterday, I used the rescue inhaler four times.\u00a0 Today, I searched the house and found my nebulizer, which I haven’t used in about two years.\u00a0 I’ve managed to keep myself breathing (and I’m saving you from some TMI too).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I hope to get in touch with my allergy doc and see if I’m doing all I can or if I should be doing something else — something to keep me from getting so shaky — I hate the nebulizer, it always leaves me shaky and dizzy but breathing better so useful but not pleasant.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’re looking forward to the zines going live tomorrow night — they will but with content coming in over the first few days as the staff recovers from illness, computer crashes, and other incidents of severe life experiences.\u00a0 But believe me we’ve got a lot of stuff lined up to help you with finding new things to read over the holidays and maybe to buy for gifts.<\/p>\n

I think I’m going to sit and breathe deeply while I can and enjoy the experience before my chest tightens up again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
