Good News and Bad News

card courtesy of someecards

First the bad news: I have pneumonia.

But the good news is it’s not swine flu! Actually the good news is that this explains why exercise (and everything else) has felt so hard this past month. I’m not a huge wuss after all! Hard to tell what’s normal pregnancy exhaustion and what’s your lungs collapsing in on themselves. No worries though – the doctor gave me the good antibiotics and I already took my first dose. He says I should be feeling like a new woman within a week.

If you are missing me, you can check out my (icky) post on HuffPo: “Hilter Wants You To Wear a Condom.”

You can also check out my new posts on Never Say Diet (where I’m filling in for Leslie this week):
“All She Wanted Was to be a Thin Bride”

“Why is it Only Men Get to be Fat and Funny?

And with that, dear friends, I’m going to bed early and I won’t even have to feel guilty about it!

  2. Well, all right, I'll let you off from writing a long, brilliant and incisive post this time. Just don't make a habit of it!

    (In the spirit of the @#$! English teacher who, despite the fact that I was acing the class, chiding me for cutting one class because I wanted to attend my father's funeral instead.)

    In other words, STOP BLOGGING AND CONCENTRATE ON GETTING BETTER, DANG IT! Or else I shall write further comments in all caps. You have been warned. So there.

  10. Quite a few students have been sick with a bad cough the past few weeks at the elementary school where I work (Sonoma County, Northern California) and a a few have developed pneumonia. Is this an epidemic we haven't heard about because everyone is focused on the flu?
