So much for maternal instincts

[mousme]

So in spite of my mother's absolute certainty that my mild cold was in fact really the H1N1/swine flu, I find myself pretty much recovered, as of yesterday.

I am always amused by my parents' hypochondria when it comes to my own health. They themselves come from the "Eh, I'll walk it off," school of doctoring, but the minute I have a sniffle or a paper cut, they're *thisclose* to calling the paramedics.

In other news, work is crazy. I've been trying to post this for about 30 minutes now. Time to quit while I'm ahead.
