Hi, Cindy and everyone! Thanks for the kind words. I went to the doctor
today. Turns out it's not the flu, it's strep. I've never had strep
before, so while I knew it wasn't like any cold I've ever had, I didn't have
a clue what it was. I'm pretty groggy right now, but at least I know what
I'm dealing with. Thanks again!
Jana
You have my get-well wishes, too, Jana. I guess I missed the post where you mentioned being ill. Sometimes, since people don't always change the subject line, I read the first few words and delete if it's something that doesn't interest me or pertain to me (like most questions that deal with machine problems that I don't have). Anyway, I do hope you get better soon. You say you're feeling better, but still feeling that you're burning up doesn't sound like it to me. I hope you've been to the doctor and are taking something. Keep us informed. I think here on the list, when one person is suffering we all feel it a little bit.

Hi, Lissi! Thanks for the get-well note. <Smile> Getting sick has been about the last straw for me, I think. I should be asleep, and I should be freezing, too, because I have the air-conditioner on, and it's cold outside. Instead, I feel like I'm on fire! Then since I couldn't sleep, I checked my e-mail and found a note from a client who said that I had not been supportive of her. Fortunately, I know it's her story, but it made me absolutely furious! I wrote back, and I wasn't very patient with her, like I usually am. <Smile>
Thanks again, Lissi... And thanks for letting me vent! I feel better now. <Smile>
