What the Flu was that?

I've been a bit out of it for a couple of days due to what may have been a flu brought home by my favorite little disease vector, my 5 year-old eldest daughter.

Of course the little one got it too and they both proceeded to rub their faces in mine guaranteeing that I'd share their experience.

Basically it was two days of a decent low-mid range fever coupled with a feeling that someone was dropping concrete blocks on my head for fun -- repetitively and continuously.

Pretty much all better now with just a left over occasional cough at night.

I don't think it was swine flu as no one here even oinked once. If it was, it is not at all the deadly pandemic they're making it out to be, at least not this time around.
