Today I was going to go to a raising in Twickenham at 4 PM. Unfortunately, around 1 or 2 pm, I started to feel really flu-ey. (I’ve had my flu jab). I sat in the living room with a blanket over me and shivered for about an hour. My stomach is pretty queasy, so I have just been drinking orange juice and water. HWMNBO got me some flu tablets and some tablets that reduce stomach gas.
I am hoping that a good night’s sleep will cure this; if not, I shall have to go to Massachusetts feeling pretty bad. I don’t want that. So good thoughts and prayers (from them as pray) would be most welcome.
We had similar symptoms around Monday and Tuesday this week. It’s something going round, in particular the “stomach bug”. You will feel better after some rest if it’s the same flu! (May take a couple of days).
Rest up and recuperate fast!
I will remember you in my supplications to T.G.A.O.T.U.
Get well soon Brother,
Traveling Man
What is a raising?
Yikes! This explains why you were up at 5 a.m. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
haizz.. flu-ey season, i guess? the pills from the doc did not work. I gonna visit my family doc in the evening..
I am a Freemason, and a “raising” is the conferral of the sublime degree of a Master Mason upon a brother who has been initiated and passed to the degree of Fellowcraft. I was looking forward to it, too, as the Brother who was being raised (a blogger) came to our Lodge a few months ago when I invited him, and blogged about it. Their ritual (the words and actions that they use in the degree) is different from ours and I was curious to see it.
Oh, well, feeling a bit better this morning.
