Well there goes our weekend, Patrons! Yesterday Marc got diagnosed with Influenza A, and then today I joined in the fun. Unfortunately that means that I have to cancel our Live Watch of Taskmaster/Derry Girls tomorrow, but I will reschedule for next weekend. We also had planned to watch the next two Squid Games and the last 4 Heartstoppers today and tomorrow evening, so those will be delayed as well (but probably just until mid-week or so). As of right now now, we're both actually doing pretty good considering- just coughing and fever- so I don't expect to be down for too long. I will keep y'all posted though!!

Anybody else fighting or fought the flu this season? Any advice besides good ol' drugs?

Hope you feel better soon. I get my flu vaccines every year so not suffering as much as you guys, but I do have a cold right now. Tired and stuffy. Rest up as much as you can ❤️

Lou M

Ah noooo. What a shame! Yeah my youngest Maggie has had it all week. I hope you guys feel better soon. Lots of fluids!!!

Had it a couple weeks ago, but didn't get a whole lot of respiratory stuff, just felt like got hit by a truck, bad headaches and body aches. So for me it was a LOT of sleeping, sipping water, and broth and tylenol.

I am SO sorry the plague found its way to you. Apparently I had "stealth plague" as it did not show up on a test. Hope you find some good viewing for rest, comfort & chicken noodle soup. At 50 I can still throw on old Price is Right & have some soup & somehow still feel like I'm missing school. 😂 Lots of support and hopes you feel better. Or at least stay reasonable & stable. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🐈‍⬛❤️🙏🏼🐈‍⬛

It went through our house one by one. Fortchunatly I only had aches and fatigue for a couple days but the rest had it for a week and are still coughing. They say the alka-seltzer sever cold has seemed to help them.

Hope you both feel better soon! Me and my husband had it over Christmas which sucked. I can only advise rest and fluids, with something chill and/or familiar to watch. I went through all 7 series of Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing over 5 days lmao.

Neil K

Hope you both feel better soon!

Take care of yourselves!

David vs. Film

Thank you, Chan!! We're doing all the things: taking medication, getting rest and hydration, junk food. Pretty sure that's all of them- especially the last one.

David vs. Film

Ugh sorry to hear that- especially at Christmas!! What a great idea to take in a few episodes of that show, btw. I have heard so many people say it's good, and this is the perfect time to try it. I'll hunt it down- thanks!

David vs. Film

I remember you saying that around your birthday about spending it trying not to get sick. I'm a big fan of the alka-seltzer severe c&f, btw!! This validates it for me.

David vs. Film

Thank you so much :) Price is Right!! haha yes! Feeling like sh*t but still doing our part to control the pet population is just how Bob Barker liked his target audience lol. I may start some old Desperate Housewives episodes ;) It's about that time again.

David vs. Film

Awww so sorry to hear that chica! Yeah, with me it's more just pissing me off- mostly slight fever and coughing (which keeps me from being able to do reactions; I could power through if it was just fatigue or something), but Marc is already re-working his last will and testament.

Sarah.the.clumsy

Oh you HAVE to update that will, last time I was SUPER sick I was like 'tell my son I love him!!! Tell my story!!'

David vs. Film

Oh no! Poor little thing. I hope she is better soon. We have the fluids covered, btw. I picked up a 1.5L bottle of vodka (the one with the handle) on the way back from the Dr. :) Obviously kidding. It was only 750mL.

BeckyB00b

Yea unfortunately it’s not always fully effective as the virus in circulation doesn’t always match the strain in the vaccine. Wishing you a speedy recovery. At least you have each other!

WhitneyG

Ibuprofen all day! Had it a few weeks ago and it hit me like a truck. Body aches, headache, cough, etc. Sleep, lots of fluids, and ibuprofen are your best friends. I hope you all feel better soon 🩷

David vs. Film

Thank you!! Yeah, one of the meds that the dr prescribed me was the 800mg Ibuprofen. I like to think that the pharmacy technician saw the order come through on the screen, looked up at the pharmacist, and they both nodded at one another. The good stuff.

Lou M

Omg well the vomiting started now !! It’s getting worse!!! Send some of that medicine my way please !!!!!!

Pam and Mike Thompson

Oh bummer! Get well soon, my friends. Mike and I both had minor colds/covid a few weeks ago. Our fevers never got higher than 99.5 or so, but the worst for me was the sinus headache. I felt like I'd been hit in the back of the head with a baseball bat.

David vs. Film

Yes!!! Ugh. And with me it's the coughing coughing coughing, which makes it so hard to do videos because nobody wants to see that!! lol. Glad y'all are feeling better :)

Calbah

Hope you're feeling better! If you need any chicken noodle soup, I'd be happy to ship some down your way. Love and healing vibes to you both!

David vs. Film

Awwww thank you so much!!! We're back on the up and up now, thankfully, but that was rough! Hopefully everything is good on your end ;)
