An Unwanted Visitor

The flu settled into our home for an extended stay last week. I’ve tried and tried to get him to leave, but like all unwanted guests, he would not budge. It’s been several years since the flu has come to see us and this was quite a visit. I haven’t been so sick in a long, long time. Luckily the children have been mostly immune to his presence. The adults, however, have not been so lucky. We all feel quite beat up and miserable. It seems that our unwanted guests is finally thinking about leaving, though. We’ll all be very glad when all remnants of him have gone. The sooner the better.
