We are very diligent about getting our flu shots every year. Many people, like Wes, do have really unfortunate and scary reactions. However, for many others, the shot really does help. Between my exposure to so many people who are sick at work and the brunch bunch, for the past week I've been feeling a cold coming on, but it has yet to "blossom." I'm taking my "Plop Plop Fizz Fizz" cocktail of Airborne and Alka Seltzer Plus Cold.
I'm hoping this is the worst of it.

To all those ailing - Feel better soon!!
