No- the girls were terrific and had wonderful art and craft sets to keep them busy at the kitchen table- just like their mother had been years ago. They go to bed at 7 pm.//I have gotten a flu shot every year plus a pneumonia vaccine so I have been okay but this was an intense flu with temps of 104. The clinic said my daughter was the worst case of 55 seen that day- mid-afternoon. They have recovered. I will lag because of smoking and age. But I did get out and about today in mild temps for winter that hide the sinister deep freeze on it's way next week via Alaska. Yes, Molly- naps seem to help a lot and I wonder how workers with the flu can manage without them? Happy New Year!
