Flu & the Borneo Monster

For 10 years I've faithfully gotten a flu shot at the insistence of my devoted mother, & for 10 years, I've been flu-free. This year I failed miserably. Apparently,

1. Carelessness is not a virtue
&
2. Jenny - flu shot = flu.

I will, therefore be confined to my room for an extended period of time & bound to the cough-suppressing narcotics which I am forced to consume.

OK. OKAY! Lesson learned! Next year I'm getting my flu shot & thanking my Mama for it every step of the way.

To add further to my already thrilling week, in the process of logging into my e-mail account today, I was informed via the Internet news that there have been 2 documented sightings of the alleged "Borneo monster," a freakin' 100+ foot long snake found in (you guessed it) Borneo. Well, that settles it, not only am I never going to Borneo, I know exactly what terrifying visions will occupy my medicinally induced dreams tonight & tomorrow & in the days that follow. Thank you members of the press at large for enhancing my already overly vivid imagination.
