colds and chills and fevers

Both Christine and I are suffering from a bout of flu - aching bones and muscles, fatigue and a general wish to crawl of somewhere and die.

Sharing the world with viruses and bacteria sure is difficult, especially when they attack you like this. What's worse, for me, is that no matter what you do you are not comfortable. There is no way to sit, lie or stand that will ameliorate the feeling in your bones of being slowly crushed, or the general ache in your muscles.

Add to that the infected sinus that I've got, and you get misery that even Victor Hugo did not dream of.
