The best-laid plans of mice and men…

Don’t mean jack when you’re experiencing flu-like symptoms.

I could go into detail about napping during the day, restless sleep at night, hot showers, waking up in a cold sweat and what not—thankfully, nothing exploding forcefully from either end of my digestive system—but the important part is the symptoms.

Not only does it take time away from writing my next blog entry about pre-knee surgery, but it puts said surgery in jeopardy. If I’ve got cold- or flu-like symptoms on Saturday, I get to call the hospital and they get to call it off until I get better. How long the delay will last… I’d rather not have to deal with that.

Consequently, I’m wishing for best health for family and friends. And me, of course. Is that so much for a mouse to ask?
