Volcanic

B1 was explaining to B2: "I am like a volcano, and the lava is my anger, and if you keep pushing me, I'm going to erupt, [B2]. And it's going to take a long time to rebuild that dome to make me nice again. You want that dome of niceness gone?"

Day 3 of flu for me. I hate that one has to specify flu as flu, since so many people think stomach flu is flu, when it's a different virus. Influenza's what I've got, as do the boys, although, kid-style, they're rebounding quickly from it. I thought I had it licked yesterday, but this morning woke up aching and with zero appetite, so I forced myself to eat a little bit, just to ease the hunger pangs. Popped some painkillers, and will try to get some sleep later. I have the boys today, which'll keep me busy, since B1 has no school -- I figure I'll just cover the bases with them and try to sneak in sleep when I'm able.
