John Y’s Musings from the Middle: The Flu

Being sick with the flu is a double curse.

You feel awful physically, of course.

But you also view everything in your life through the same miserable, feeble, nauseous lens…making everything around you less beautiful, special, worthwhile or even tolerable.

I have cursed at my cold/flu (whatever it is) to no avail.

I’ve tried using rare curse words I haven’t used in months –or even years. I’ve tried new combinations and several hyphenated curse words

I’m not sure even exist. And, of course, I’ve used the standard fare curse words we are all familiar with and often turn up in
ordinary distressing situations –that aren’t cold/flu related.

But not a single curse word, hyphenated or otherwise, or any combination thereof has helped one whit!

D*****t!

You know your case of this cold/flu thing going around is bad when you see the old Bon Jovi “Dead or Alive” video and your first response to it is, “Dead? Alive? Why such a big deal about the difference?”
