Why is it whenever I get in the creative spirit lately I catch the current plague rolling around the area?

This time I caught the FLU, not the stomach kind that's gone in a day, no the full blown knock you on your ass so you're not getting up again and are suffering for several weeks kind. >_< Apparently it's one of four catchy ones going around including bronchitis, strep throat, gastroenteritis (the fluffy kind of flu where you puke for a day and get better) and the full blown influenza! So I lucked out on getting just one of them, but of course I had to pick the one that not only lasts the longest at two weeks (most of the heavy symptoms are gone in a few days but then you're stuck with a cold from hell for the rest of the time) instead of one I could have taken pills for to get over.

*dies* I'm going back to my cave to watch Star Wars movies.

Oh, and to top it all off, today's my ninth wedding anniversary. So my wife and I both get to suffer. She did give me the flu after all.
