This cat looks pretty much how I look right now.
Being sick doesn’t become me.
My hairs sticking up and I’m wrapped up in my oldest worn and weary housecoat. Lovely image huh?

Knocked out by the flu bug
I was just saying in another post on my other blog that I spent the entire day in bed! I didn’t get up until around 9 pm! Of course now I’ll probably end up being up all night. Thank you flu bug you really know how to ruin a day.
Well I guess my body must have needed the rest. I do feel a bit better.
I guess there’s worse things that I could have been doing with the flu rather than lying in bed. I could have spent that time in the bathroom getting to know the bathroom fixtures intimately! LOL
I think I’ll just relax and watch TV for a while now. My husband was channel surfing and he’s just come across a BBC taping of the Rolling Stones in Concert in 1968 on PBS. I love the Stones. I’m happy to watch that for a while.
Now I’m getting the flu too
Oh oh, I think I might be getting that flu that Chris has now too. I felt like crap all night last night and all day.
Chris got up today to go to work, but he came back upstairs at 8:30 to ask me to call in sick for him. I’d just fallen asleep. Well, I’d fallen into a light sleep full of really strange dreams and then Chris came in the room saying “I’m sick – call my boss for me?”. I didn’t mind doing that for him, but I wish he hadn’t woken me up.
If this is the flu it’s a weird flu. I feel a little bit nauseous, but then I feel that way on and off with my Crohn’s too. Mostly I just feel blah … and weak and dizzy. Oh and my tongue feels like home theater carpet. Maybe I should go get some water?
It seems that the flu is really hitting Toronto hard. We’re apparently in an “unofficial” quarantine. I’m not exactly sure what that means … maybe there’s unofficial travel advisories?
My email program keeps crashing
This is so frustrating. I use Eudora as my email program and for the last several months anytime I visit a website that has flash on it – say a widgetbucks ad or something else, heck even a YouTube video will do it – my email program freezes up until the next time it’s set to collect email.
It even freezes as I’m checking my email. As I said in a recent post I get about 25,000 emails a month (yes a lot is junk, but a lot of it is from the mailing lists I run, comments on my blogs or websites and from friends, family and business connections) so it’s really frustrating deleting five emails, having the program freeze, waiting for five minutes and then going back to approve a comment and so on.
I’ve gone to the Eudora site to see if others had this problem and I found that a few had similar complaints. I tried the fixes but they don’t work for me.
Does anyone else use Eudora? I’m using version 7.1.0.9. I think there’s an upgrade, but I have a feeling it won’t help. It’s got to be something on my laptop clashing with Eudora. I use Eudora on my desktop computer (maybe one version lower) and it doesn’t act up like this.
Going on Vacation? This site has great flight and hotel deals
You know how I keep saying that I need a vacation after this horrible winter we’ve had? Well, it was suggested that I take a look at an internet travel website called Cfares. So I did, and I was quite pleased with what I saw.
At Cfares you can find the best rates for airline tickets, hotels or combo fight and hotel packages.
We really enjoyed our trip to Las Vegas last Autumn and we’ve both said that we’d like to go back to Vegas again soon so we can have a better look around and do more things than we did on our last visit. So I decided to check flight prices to Vegas in April.
Cfares cross checks prices with major online travel agencies, wholesalers and airlines to find the best deals. When I did my search for flights to Las Vegas from Toronto I was pleased to see that I had at least a couple of hundred choices come up. The prices were quite reasonable too.
Actually the prices were much lower than the ones I was offered for my November trip so not being sure if there is a regular price difference for those traveling in April versus November, I also did a search for flight prices in November. As I thought there must be a difference because the November flight prices were about $50 to $75 higher than the April prices that I had just been offered.
One thing that I liked about the site is that once it comes up with flight prices for you many of the result tabs also allow you to check for flight and hotel combination packages too. So just by clicking a button you can see some great deals that include hotel stays as well.
If anything there are perhaps too many results! Of course I was just testing the site out as I don’t know when we might be able to take a few days or a weeks vacation. If I was seriously searching for the best deal I’m certain I’d be very pleased with the amount of flight deal results I got as I’d be searching the best prices.
You can also use the site to search for the best hotel prices too.
I’m certain that Chris and I will go on a trip within the next month or two so I’ll be bookmarking this site. If you’re planning a trip you should bookmark the site too, I’m sure it will come in handy!
