Sick with the flu

It's been a really rough few days for me. I was dealing with a very bad period and then I got the flu really bad. The teen had it a few weeks ago and germs tend to get their way around the house usually and everyone gets sick. I wasn't sure if it was my period or the flu which was affecting me. Some symptoms blend together like stomach cramps and headaches. I spent the afternoon throwing up and trying to hold it together until Anakin got home yesterday. I'm really lucky to have him. He stayed home today from work to help me out. He always takes such good care of me. My first husband wasn't like that. My parent's were never really like that either. You had to take care of yourself if you were sick. Master treated me so good and was gentle with me like a Daddy would. He got me medicine and made me a cool bath for my fever. He put a washcloth on my forehead and rubbed my back for me which was aching. He was also up in the middle of the night helping to take care of me. I am a really lucky girl. I am really glad that he is home today although I am still recovering from the flu. I have missed him. We have the new Hawaii 5-0 on PVR and want to watch it. I'm curious if it is anything like the original series. I used to watch that all the time with my Dad. He used to love that show. I really miss my Dad sometimes. I stepped on the scale today and noticed that I lost a pound this week. I lost 3 pounds over the summer which was the first one in years that I lost weight instead of putting it on. I tend to get lazier during the summer months and don't have to do my daily walks. I tried to eat healthier and continue with some walks and it helped me to lose. In total this year I have lost 5 pounds!! I walk daily and try to be healthy. I am going to recover from this flu and get stronger. I want to get better in time for my 38th birthday which is just around the corner and also Halloween! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala
