The big issue at home is Gail, she has come down with quite a bad flu, in all the time we have been together, I have not known Gail to take time off work, even when I have insisted she does. This time she couldn't get out of bed yesterday so had to call in sick. On Monday she went to work but that was a mistake and only made her worse.
This couldn't have come at a worse time, however, fortunately our house is large enough that we can almost live apart in the same house, which is what we have been doing since Monday evening, Gail upstairs and me down. I got the hard mattress. It's something I never thought of, Gail being ill, you plan for others coming, tell people to call first, not to visit if they are ill. now it's dealing with the enemy within.
Hopefully the separation will keep me away from the infection as Gail says she has never felt so bad, and for her thats some statement.
Take care all
