I am not here.
Hello, Friends! I apologize for being scarce this past week–seems I’m off on an unexpected Influenza Vacation. I’ll be back with all sorts of good stuff once I can sit upright for more than ten minutes at a time.
Perhaps we’ll explore the universal anomaly of why Mothers have to become ill to get a “vacation?” 
Rest assured that The Bacon Slayer is doing a mighty fine job holding down the fort while I lay on the couch and watch copious amounts of National Geographic documentaries.
…slacker.
Hope you feel better soon!
…turd.
Thanks, Bro!
Feel better soon.
You could have just flown down here for a week if you needed a break. Seriously. It may be 1/2 way across the country for you, but it’s 1,000% better than Calgon. Plus, I have a pantry full of booze. And chocolate.
Feel better soon!
I’m so sorry that you are under the weather. Hopefully this flue bug leaves you shortly and you are back to your old self again soon.
Oh, horror. Just remember if you’re feeling super-miserable that taking a shower is usually the right answer. I will eat spicy food in solidarity with burning it out. I hope that you feel better soon – will be sending good vibes your way! xx
Feel better soon dear! You are a mom so you are a surviver! Hang in there!
I think I accidentally lost about 5 pounds with the Domestic kitchen on sickbay leave…
Aww…hate that you’re not feeling too hot.
Hope you’re back up and at’em soon!
Thanks, Carrie!
Hope you’re on the upswing by now, Kirsten. I remember the last time I had the bad flu. It was awful. I’ve gotten a flu shot ever since. Never want to do that again! Feel better soon!
I’m glad you have Bacon Slayer to hold down the fort. Next time, may I recommend a slight toe sprain for a “vacation” excuse?
Ha! If only I could get a day off for something so innocuous.
