Are you worried about the swine flu?
It’s all over the news, you can’t avoid hearing about it. It’s flashing across my homepage, as well as on the front of my newspaper. The media does a great job of scaring people, sometimes I wonder if things are really as bad as they seem. Though, with me being the extra extra cautious Mommy that I am, I can’t help but worry. The CDC recommends frequent washing of your hands, and limiting travel if you are sick, though some don’t know they are sick until a couple of days into it. It seems the list of states is getting longer each day. Our state, Tennessee, was added last night when a student at a private school became sick.
Are you doing anything differently than normal? For how long?
I wasn’t worried until I got sick this past week AND I live here, in Houston, TX. I’ve been stuck in the house all week with flu-like symptoms, but I’m starting to get better now. I hadn’t been sick in years, so I guess it was about time.
