Creeping Back From the Flu

The flu has swept through the family like a scythe. I brought it home from work and last weekend I did not stir from my bed or the recliner. By Tuesday the rest of the family had it but by then I had enough energy back to nurse them as they had nursed me. We have all been crawling back inch by inch. I got through this past weekend without niquil. I am now regaining my strength and purging the last of the toxins from my digestive tract. Kirk, Chloe and Jean are a few days behind me.
This was some nasty stuff. The hallmark of this particular flu seemed to be the body aches and a deep and racking cough. We are glad to see the back of it.

The Great Fish Migration


We got the last of the fish moved from the gardenroom pond to the aquarium this week. Though we had a little territorial shoving by the orandas, it has gone well and the work is complete. There is a picture of the unpopulated tank here and of the pond when populated here.
