Battling the flu

You haven't heard from me lately as I am battling the flu.  We are in day six now with slow improvement.  I haven't had flu in ages and always get a flu shot, including last fall before I left, so this was unexpected.  I assume it is a strain that is not in our vaccine.  I have largely been spared the chills and joint aches, but have all the other symptoms.  I feel like I almost turned my lungs inside out with the coughing.  Luckily we brought a wide variety of OTC medications which treat the symptoms, so the rest is to just wait it out.  I have two reasons on the calendar to get well soon.  On Sat. I am scheduled to give a talk on studying in American colleges and scholarship opportunities.  They tell me they have 250 people registered.  I was tapped for this as the rest of the office is in Bali for training. (BTW, negotiations are ongoing as to whether my boss is staying.  I think it's probable.)

The other reason to get well is we will meet our son, Steve, in Bali next Wed and hope to have a fun week with him there and in Lombok.

Wishing you all good health,

Anne
