Realm: Sick

"Oh, ok," said my Mom yesterday, when I phoned her and recounted how I'd spent the previous weekend dealing with a sick ten-year-old. "So it's been a week: way to late for you to come down with the 'flu now."

I think she spoke too soon...
(At any rate, I'm dizzy and have a rotten headache and probably a fever, though since the first thing I did when the headache came on was to take two aspirin it's hard to be certain on that. I had to leave work early, because my brain wasn't really quite functional enough, and I wanted to avoid infecting my coworkers.)
