Well it turns out that the hubby does indeed have the flu, he will probably be in bed until Wednesday -- which will interfere some with my sewing decisions but so it goes.
Today he is feeling a little better so on the way home from the doctor and picking up an inhaler we got a corned beef for dinner (he loves his corned beef).
We are back home now, I have the corned beef starting and put hubby back to bed with a 6-pack of Vernor's to assist in his recovery which led to a discussion at the check out line, lady behind us was from Michigan and the cashier was also (Detroit), hubby is from Grand Rapids and apparently everyone in Michigan knows that Vernor's is the magic drink when you are sick.
