flu

Remember a few years ago before the COVID pandemic when this time of the year we would be talking about the flu and cold cases and doctors urging people to get the flu shot? Then COVID hit and the flu and cold sort of went away. At least we didn't hear much about the flu or cold while COVID cases were soaring and people were worried about the pandemic...

It never fails, this time every year, yours truly gets sicker than sick. I always lose my voice. That is a given. But I also typically end up with the worst type of cold, one year it was the flu and let me tell you it stinks! Who wants to be sick for the holidays? Not me!

This was me yesterday. Ouch! Does anyone else resort to being a 5 year old when it comes to gettng shots? I decided to get a flu shot yesterday and it was not fun!

If you are lucky enough to have escaped any type of illness up to this point, let me say lucky you! I stopped by the store real quick the other day to load up Lysol and Lysol wipes while my son was sick and this is what I discovered.

This flu epidemic is no joke peeps! Unfortunately, as you can in the picture, my kiddo took a flu test at the Dr. and boom, the flu has now hit our home. I kept saying it wasn't going to but it did and the thing is, the 'typical symptoms' were not even there...
