Well I dont know you gals and guys, but I'm terrible.
Had one of the worst nights ever.
I had such huge fever I was having your typical Delirium Tremens package.. (shaking, nightmares, awful body pain on muscles and bones,sweating) I even had some seriously strange dreams while trying to sleep (involving a huge space station) and some scary
ghost like apparitions, vomiting, etc..
not fun.
had to chunk a lot of ibuprofen for the headache.
Right now I'm kinda ok, full of meds. I wonder how long until I can recover...
interestingly.. My sister has it as well.. seems there is an influenza epidemic around.

Oh awesome! That sounds great! I've stayed away from SK because I can't handle horror/thriller, but apparently some of his aren't like that. Like, I loved The Green Mile...at least the movie. I didn't know it was SK until I had watched it. I'd like to read the book, though. I usually prefer books and I read a LOT. I'm reading a similar thing right now, though it's a whole series. It's about a woman who falls through a portal into a time 200 years before her time and tries to prevent the Jacobite uprising/Battle of Culloden. Then once that's passed, it moves on to the Revolutionary War in the US. Fascinating.

The Shawshank Redemption is another incredible adaptation of a SK short story

I'm so sorry to hear this, both hubby and I had the flu shot. He and I went through those exact symptoms. Tomorrow, I will be three weeks with this. Hang in there the first week is the worst. I slept in my rocking chair all day, to be able to breathe. With asthma it hits really hard. My rocking chair was my best friend for four days. Then you think you are getting better and wham you are hit again, not as bad, but very tiring. It's so weird, it settles all over the body on different days, sometimes ears and throat, or lungs with a horrible cough, then makes your stomach really hurt. And repeat, and repeat and repeat. We have had this for one day less than three weeks. Sister had it, and she is still sick at week 6. I hope you have a better immune system. Maybe being younger, it won't hit as bad, sis is 70, and I'm , soon to be 68. Don't know that this will make a difference, but I hope it does. Take it very easy for the first week. Then, you will be very tired. I 'm doing this without meds. (I can't take much of anything). Hubby is using Advil, and throat lozenges, for cough and sore throat. I hope you get over this quickly. So, so sorry to hear you have this bug. It's the worst I've had in all by 60 plus years. @Cesar R M. Get better soon. Gets lots of rest and water.

Same concept but done in recent times that some of us lived through. Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and others are Steven King. He didn't always try to keep people awake at night, sometimes he just told some awesome stories.

OK gang, Princess 5K tutu day time...!!!!! :joyfull: ;)

So, starting out with the best of intentions to train, to eat better, to cut back on the beer, etc., for this whole thing, the reality of it is, it didn't quite go that way... :cautious: :D ;)
I gained a lot of the weight I had lost previous to the holidays back during the holidays and only lost about a third of it before the "race". I did some walking, but, not nearly as much as I should have. And, although I cut back on the beer, it wasn't by a whole lot, etc.... :oops:
That being said, I finished fine, walking the entire course, and felt awesome for having participated, but, I definitely want to do better next year. I want to be able to run most or all of it next year. It was the first time I've participated in an event like this, and now I get it...!!! :happy: :)

Anyway, without further ado, and as promised...tutus.....!!!!!!! :joyfull:

As I mentioned in a previous post, there were corrals A-F. Best I can determine, there were over 10,000 participants in just this one event.
Oldest DD, SonIL, and youngest DD were assigned to A, myself to E, and DS and DWifey to F. Once assigned, you can't step up, but, you can step down. So, I stepped down to F so I could be with DWifey and DS. As I also mentioned before, we know how to fix this for next year. ;)
As a result, SonIL had already crossed the finish line while they were just queueing up our corral for our official start...!!! :hilarious:
Also, DS and DWifey blew me away and finished about 15 mins. ahead of me... :oops: ;)

Anyway, right after I finished, I joined them all in the runners retreat tent for breakfast. :hungry:

Mission accomplished...!!! :happy:

It takes a real man to pull off a tutu like that. Well done, sir!
