Nope, we are not better. I thought I was until I tried to sit up and eat. I quickly returned to my preferred position - on my stomach. This virus is mean.

No one- not even Fish was immune from this round. Lisa called Cheese to take Pops to the emergency room. She said his lungs sounded like sandpaper on gravel. Cheese rolled Pops out of here in a wheelchair - Pops was too tired to walk.
The hospital put him on oxygen and gave him several breathing treatments. His doctor kept him overnight just to be careful.
Lucy sent Cheese with pies and a big pot of chicken soup and several different type of sandwiches. They were yummy.
We are fed, hydrated and getting plenty of rest. Pops doctor said if we were still down this afternoon he would bring a team out to examine us.
Wish us luck.

Some days everything sucks.
Click To See/Hide The Rest +/-
No matter what you do, no matter what planning, no matter backups you have in place - everything still sucks.
Last night I sat through about a thousand pictures the kids took of trees. Not that is was boring, some of the pictures were really beautiful. I've asked Pops to 'break' the connection between the photo server and the TV or at least use only the great room TV. The kids made my bed the center of attention while we watched the pictures on my TV.
I was so glad when Liz finally saw me yawn the hundredth time and determine I was tired and not feeling very well. I was frozen under several blankets. She texted an apology a little later when I was almost asleep. Thoughtful girl.
This morning I woke up to someone shaking me. The teens were here all with fevers. Captain was in front of the fire under two heavy quilts - Pops was beside him with an electric throw blanket. Stubby was banking the fire wearing a heavy coat and a blanket around that.
Lisa was on another couch under the bear skin and wearing a hooded coat. It looked like she had gloves on.
It was about a hundred degrees in the great room in front of the fireplace but they were all shivering. What they didn't know - I was still sick and just as cold as them. I sat on the hearth with my back to the fire and when my back was cooked I laid on my side with my front facing the fire. When I felt just about ready to burst into flames, I crawled into the blankets and sleeping bags with the teens. They loved it.
I woke up with one of the girls wrapped around my legs, another in front and the last one curled up against my back. We were nice and toasty. Davis was handing out cups of soup and tea and then I saw the classmates on the floor in front of the fireplace. They were hugging each other shivering. Davis said Lisa left work at one and the classmates left at two. He brought them here since he heard others were sick and he was to leave for Chicago this morning.
He didn't know he was going to be the nurse for all of us. Red and Fish got here with her just as bad as the rest of us. Pops took Fish and made a tent for them at the end of the couch on a big pillow. Last glance showed they were sound asleep.
I had antibiotics ready to fight whatever - I had all the pain relievers and fever fighters you could want. I have plenty of juice - I have extra TP, hot water bottles, ice packs, heating pads, electric blankets, electric throw blankets even electric hunter's socks. We have the furnace set to 80 and Davis is in shorts and still sweating.
Erin called late last night - she and Fire are sick. So even thought we were all washing our hands several times a day and not sharing silverware or glasses, we are all sick again. Pops says he is throwing out the antibacterial crap and we can all share everything - maybe we won't get so sick.
Cg1 just woke and told us the entire third floor of the hospital, pediatrics including patients and staff are all sick. They called an extra shift in to care just for that floor. Someone said it was a virus. She shivered, Cg2 hugged her and they went back to sleep.
This sucks - I've drank a half carton of orange juice and some whiskey - I am still frozen am writing this under a blanket. The laptop is shivering from me. Later when I warm up.

I cannot believe how many times I have been sick this year. Pops says it is the teens fault but they don’t seem to be sick and so far, no one else is complaining.

I went to bed about noon yesterday feeling nauseated. I got up about 1 this afternoon and do not feel too bad. I am starved so Captain is making me some chicken soup. Best medicine in the world.
Erin and Fire came out yesterday but I fell asleep about 10 seconds after they got here. Lisa said they just wanted to make sure I was OK with everything. I wonder why they are so worried. I tried to call this afternoon but all I get is their voice mail.
Everyone is gone – Pops and Stubby took his small tug somewhere. Lisa met the classmates for lunch then went to the hospital to work this evening for her monthly requirements.
Captain put together some soup for me – I can tell it is almost done from the smell. Captain went to work at some job location – he has so many jobs right now he is busy, busy, busy.
Adam and Bruce are in Canada – Will and Jeni are in hiding again trying to make a baby.
Denny and Cindy went back home for a week or so – Debby went with to check out that office.
Summer and Annie are in Colorado or Idaho – maybe skiing – they have not checked in yet.
G is with her sister who just had a baby boy. No pics yet (hint-hint).
Moms are someplace in Europe to teach more classes. The installation crew got detained for some of the tools they had. It took over 48 hours to get them cleared so they are a couple of days behind schedule.
Red, Kim and Jim are staying close to home – Fish is teething and Jim seems to be the only one that can comfort him.
Liz took the other girls north to Grannie’s for more fall pictures and to check on things. Rumor has it that Mr. Nerd and gB boyfriends went with. B currently hates all men – not sure why and she is not saying.
Davis and DenI went looking for motorcycle parts in Kentucky and BBS and her Mom are on the magnificent mile spending boat loads of money but saving even more. (???)
So I am reading a few chapters and waiting for the race rain delay to end and the soup timer to ring.
Don’t know when this will get posted – have to wait for Pops and I do not know where he is.
Total update – how was that?

JeniAndWill,
Liz,

By now most of you should know that William and Jeni are trying to have a baby but their first attempt failed. They have another attempt coming soon we think – they are silent about it.

Debby moved into their cabin Wednesday – the contractor finally declared it finished. Will told her to pick whatever room she wanted. She ended up in a guest room at the back of the lower floor that has an attached bath and sitting room.
It is also three steps from the garage door, a few feet from the laundry room and down the hall from the kitchen and main recreation room. Pops called it a good choice – then I hear he bent her over her car and tried to shove the kid back in with his dick.
Debby teases him terribly. She went to work with Cindy yesterday and met the second in charge from the corporate offices who was visiting relatives. He made a surprise visit to the office.
She ended up spending four or five hours with him and he told Annie she had a knack for finding great employees.
Annie warned him if he stole her, he would be missing his cock. He laughed and Annie warned him she was not teasing.
Debby told Annie, Cindy and Pops that the guy must have a giant cock as cocky as he was and as much as he flirted with her. Made Pops look like an amateur.
Erin came out to take Moms to the airport yesterday morning and then she came back to the house which surprised me.
She asked if I had a few minutes. She wanted privacy. When we got to my room she stuttered for a moment and I finally told her to spit it out – I did not bite and very seldom hit unless someone wanted spanked.
She laughed but relaxed and said she had been spending so much time with Moms because she thought she was a lesbian but was not sure.
I knew Moms would have already discussed everything with her and I went right to the point – what that had to do with me.
She told me she was very attracted to Fire. Would I mind? Mind what? Then I asked her about Bruce. She still wanted him too. I saw her problem.
I called Fire and asked what her romantic situation was. She told me terrible. I told her she had a secret admirer who had a lover. She did not even ask if they were male or female – she just asked when she could meet them – it had been too long.
I told her I would let her know and I called Bruce. He was a little upset but when I told him he would not lose pussy privileges – in fact he would gain another three holes he liked the idea of two girls at once.
He said he was free this afternoon so I conference called Fire, handed the phone to Erin and let them work out the details.
Erin wanted to take a quick shower and wear something sexy. I told her to go, get them all in the shower and to hell with clothes. She smiled and was gone.
Last night she called thanking me saying it was perfect but she needed Moms number to ask them something.
I figured if Moms had wanted her to have it, they would have given it to her. I told her I would message them.
Fire left me a text message saying she was in love and G asked that I warn her the next time I setup an orgy across the way.
G has been seeing someone but we have not met him yet. She told me when the time was right.
Debby called saying the heat had quit and she had no firewood. Henry stopped by for Stubby and they took her a wagon full of wood but Henry found the problem with the furnace and got it working.
Debby heated up some left over soup and Stubby told Captain he had a rival. Debby texted me again about four this morning saying the heat had quit again – thank goodness she had firewood. I sent the teens to make sure she had plenty of wood IN the house and was waiting for either Stubby to come down or Lisa to see what they wanted to do.
Adam texted me saying I should get someone up soon – it was below freezing and although he doubted the pipes would freeze better safe then sorry.
I said something to pops who was already up. He called someone to get their ass out here now. He had a pregnant lady in a cold house and he was not happy – the owner would be furious.
Less then an hour later Debby called saying the heat was back on and the guy went to get a different something or rather. He was very apologetic and had helped the teens lay fires in all the fireplaces.
At first I thought she meant he tried to ‘lay’ the teens but I figured it out quickly.
Liz said the guy had a neat trick for laying fires and showed it to Pops when she got back.
Pops had never seen it but Stubby showed us an even better way that Pops thought was too simple for him not to have thought of.
Then Stubby showed us about ten different techniques and Pops grumbled about the fucking mountain man.
Captain came down and added a different technique to the list and then decided he was making fireplace biscuits – the first time I have heard of them. The teens are helping.
Whatever he is cooking it smells great. Liz bought some French Vanilla coffee. I liked he way it smelled but didn’t think I would like the way it tasted. I was wrong.
Captain made his own by roasting the coffee beans and grinding them himself. As Lisa says, it made my mouth come. Liz threw the store bought can away but gB dug it out and filled it with some of Captain’s beans for her mother. She told us Red LOVES flavored coffee.
Nothing special today. In fact, I am going go back to bed after breakfast. Adam, Bruce, Erin and I (and I guess Fire) are going to a musical then we’ll play musical dicks – and maybe musical pussies. Ought to be fun.
It is fairly small, battery/AC operated, quiet and can fit into a back pack. As soon as his doc left, Pops put it on a closet and has not worn it since.
The doc brought two nurses with and when they gloved up I warned everyone to cover their buttholes - these girls looked to prefer anal thermometers. They laughed and checked us all.
The result - we have a virus that affects the respiratory system and I think it kills the immune system but they didn't say that.
The teens wanted something so they got some very mild antibiotics and a shot - probably of B vitamin or something. They did seem to perk up after about an hour but they didn't look any better.
After the medics left, Pops gave everyone a small pill and said the doc told him they would help.
And in about two hours everyone did seem in better spirits and Red even ventured home for a bit. Stubby told Lisa he was horny and Lisa told him to pick on me. I told him where to put his monster but it was in his own body.
Lisa just showed me the bottle containing the pills we took. Inert - placebo - not-even-sugar-pill. It was all in our heads. She gave Liz another and she actually seemed to feel good enough to take a quick walk on the treadmill but she did not last long - too soon Lisa told her.
We ate more chicken soup - this time with perfect dumplings - yum, yum. Cheese even ate with us and said he never gets this when he is sick - usually he just gets a swift kick in the ass.
Lisa caught Stubby, Pops and Captain smoking - she was not happy and told them all where their dicks would end up if she caught them again. I wonder if they would close the lock down to look for three severed penises?
The second time they did it I went with them - I bad - but it clears my sinuses. Sorry Moms.
Time for sleepy-bye.
