I hate 'flu season

The Cheshire Cat 2003-12-08 13:56:29 ET I haven't got the shot yet, and I should, considering my mom's immune system has been compromised by her surgery last week. It may be too late tho. Send many special hugs and loves to my baby. She's sick and trying to study and pass. And she will. It's just harder when yer sick and ya can't sleep. Go see The Station Agent. Really good movie. 9 business days 'til vacation!

Sybarite 2003-12-08 13:57:23 ET I hope she gets better soon.. having to take exams when you're sick sucks ass.

Antoire 2003-12-08 14:30:30 ET topics to be covered on tomorrow's psych. exam: autism & characteristics psychosocial development (theories, social cognition, peer groups, friendships, society of children, types of children, types of aggression) personal social development (assertion, prob. solving, strategies & definitions) divorce facts on family structure Kolhberg's theory of moral development & reasoning

Sybarite 2003-12-08 14:33:17 ET oh wow. that sounds like a metric arseload of fun.

Antoire 2003-12-08 14:34:52 ET tonight, i'd rather take one up the arse from a bull elephant than deal with this junk. :P at least i am reasonably comfortable w/all material.

Sybarite 2003-12-08 14:38:50 ET *offers you some anal-ease* No doubt.. at least that way you don't have to try to study until the wee hours of morning to familiarise yourself with the subject matter. All will go well. :)

Antoire 2003-12-08 14:40:50 ET *nods* it helps that i have a background in working with children w/autism, and did a research paper on Kohlberg last semester. ;) thanks!

Sybarite 2003-12-08 14:42:58 ET that's so great. One of my mom's friends has 2 kids with autism (don't ask me what kind, because I am SO clueless) but apparently they're in a really great program that's very music and art intensive, and they're making huge progress in it.

Antoire 2003-12-08 14:44:57 ET that is fantastic! are they in a program here in Toronto or elsewhere?

Sybarite 2003-12-08 14:46:22 ET *nods* They live out in Etobicoke, I'm not sure where their program is.. I'll ask the next time I talk to my mother. ;) Apparently the music especially is having a profound effect on the older boy.

Antoire 2003-12-08 14:47:32 ET typically, children with ASD (autistic spectrum disorder) respond VERY well to music and musically oriented activites. how old are the children, and are they both boys?

Sybarite 2003-12-08 14:50:16 ET Very cool. :) Yes, they're both boys.. I believe the older one is 7, and the younger one is 4.

skymoshingtrickster 2003-12-09 21:21:10 ET I forsee many high grades for Ms Antoire here in my crystal ball! And endless days of health!

Antoire 2003-12-10 04:13:15 ET woohoo! i sure could use that ... and some friggin' sleep! going on 4 days and 2 hours of rest. :/

skymoshingtrickster 2003-12-10 07:21:25 ET gah! 2 hours! *boggles* the semester is almost over! coma is immanent!

Antoire 2003-12-10 13:22:59 ET 1 more exam to go tomorrow, then maybe i can finally fall over and DIE! :P

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:17:08 ET man i got a bruuuutal case of the flu.... argh... btw, i might be comming to montreal in march :D

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:22:03 ET i'd love to visit Montreal ... hell, there are a TON of places i'd love to see.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:22:08 ET stomach flu over here. *waves* funstuff.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:22:21 ET Montreal is GORGEOUS. you must go.

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:22:49 ET my tummy hasn't hurt at all, but is currently in the process of exorcising some massive demons. even tea and water are making it angry.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:23:43 ET yep. sounds about right. I wasn't hurting either, but I puked for about an hour straight.

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:24:44 ET *cringe* i HATE puking. my demons have been running the other direction.

The Cheshire Cat 2003-12-11 15:25:00 ET I miss montreal. I'm still flu-less (fortunately), but I have a feeling that poetic justice shall hit and I'll be sick on my vacation.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:26:13 ET Antoire- I'd take puking over the other option any day. cat- agreed. I'd move back there in a second.

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:27:18 ET i have a lung infection based flu, so i was in pain for 4 days. i'm alot better now

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:28:09 ET one of my profs has pneumonia that stemmed from this flu. i don't miss the years i spent battling that nasty bug.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:28:48 ET Oof. pneumonia is NASTY. My mom dragged hers on for almost 10 months.

The Cheshire Cat 2003-12-11 15:29:57 ET never had that one, either *knocks on wood*

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:30:37 ET used to get it every Halloween from age 4 to age 12. 2 years i had it twice in the same year.

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:32:54 ET *winces* I was a viral bronchitis victim m'self. Every winter, usually over xmas.

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:35:15 ET *cries* not fun at all, but it seems this antiboitic i'm taking is a friggin miracle worker, 2 pills and 16 hrs later my fever was gone and all that is left is my lung and throat infection

The Cheshire Cat 2003-12-11 15:36:11 ET i like pills

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:36:34 ET I don't like pills. :(

The Cheshire Cat 2003-12-11 15:37:23 ET depends on the pills

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:38:22 ET these pills were godlike, i went from chills and deathly temp, sweating, and delusions to normal overnight

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:39:22 ET cat- true enough. DJ- then those pills were the 'good' kind. ;)

Antoire 2003-12-11 15:39:58 ET >>these pills were godlike, i went from chills and deathly temp, sweating, and delusions to normal overnight i get that way just from kid's cold medicine!

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:42:04 ET seriously? sweet. I took care of last night's stomach misery with peppermint tea.

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:42:13 ET erthromycin is what it's called 8:D apprently respiratory flu's are some of the most dangerous

Sybarite 2003-12-11 15:45:44 ET Makes sense.

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 15:48:54 ET but this week, one of the worst experiences of my life...

skymoshingtrickster 2003-12-11 18:16:46 ET bleh! I get bronchitus every spring. Goes with the asthma. :( I was born in Montreal and lived there until I was 7. I still miss it. beautiful city.

DJKhaosGott 2003-12-11 18:17:33 ET i can't wait to go in march and watch the canadiens get raped by the devils :D
