Sorry I haven't written in a while. My older son, X ,is sick. He started coughing a lot and even threw up at the office. At my insistence, he came here to stay. X is now in his old room sleeping. He only ate little food this morning, has no energy, and can't keep anything down. Y's been helping me take care of him whenever possible.

I postponed a couple of client meetings to be with X and take care of him. Before he fell asleep, he told me about a very odd dream that he had. In it, he is a doctor working in a small Alaskan town, full of the oddest people.

"There's this one guy, older than you.." he said at one point "with wife in her twenties! I rent this run down cabin from this pilot, and it has no toilet!" He said a couple of more things about the dream, and then he stopped, feeling sleepy.

His coworkers are very concerned. One of them called last night to see how he was doing.

I gotta go...he's awake and throwing up again.

Sounds like X has a bad flu or something. I hope he feels better soon.

He probably caught something from a one night stand or prostitute

I got that kind of bad flu last year. Boy! was that awful. I was sorry to hear about X getting sick.

It sounds like your son had been sick for a while, but didn't want to take time off from work. My brother is the same way. He could be coughing blood and still insist that he's fine enough to go to work.

I recently had to take care of my older daughter, who goes to university. The poor girl got bronchitis. Thankfully, she's better now.

the best remedy for the flu is a tea made from holly berries! I've used it and its done wonders for me!
