Sick even unto death.

I have been talking about this a lot on Twitter, to the point that I figured everyone knew, but apparently, I was wrong. So:

I am sick. Like really, really sick. Like "missing a week of work, barely getting out of bed, too exhausted to deal with anything" sick. I caught the flu. And yes, I got my flu shot. It's not a magic bullet; it just increases resistance and sometimes decreases the severity of the flu itself. Well, if that's the case, I'm damn glad I got it, because I think I'd be dead now without it.

This is a bad, bad flu season. Take care of yourselves. And please, please, don't pressure me for fast responses to anything. I am too sick to die, and you may have to wait longer than usual for an answer.

Having had my norovirus for the year, I have a vague idea of your pain. Sleep, drink fluids, absorb healing energy from the cats, and take care. No dying. We would all have the sad, well unless you rose from the dead as a zombie. Then we'd be very unsurprised.

It'd be sad because she'd be more focused on nomming on people than writing....

Oh the dilemma.
Seanan Zombie: shoot it or follow it?

Follow - definitely! And if she still was writing, I'd find brains for her to nom.

But if she's a Newsflesh type Zombie don't you think she might prefer the shooting?

I'd hate to have her last conscious thought be Dammit why didn't Kay just shoot me. shortly followed by feeding on me.

If she was a Newsflesh zombie then I'd be trying to give her massive amounts of protein shakes, mega-nutrients and hoping she'd recover, while keeping her from hurting anyone.

Good call. Do we have her blood on file?
