The Mail

I'm really impressed with the mail. It's SO fast! I ordered ink on the hp website and they do free next day delivery. It's ACTUALLY next day delivery! amazing. And packages move around the country really fast even when they aren't coming by fedex express, just USPS ground

flu came through here.

My house was down with it, I had the vaccine and got away with feeling only about half as bad as everyone else, and not getting the fever.

Was better than the alternative.

That sucks that you guys got it, but not totally surprising since you've got a little guy and kids are awesome at getting germs. They've actually shown in a few studies that kids are simply more infectious than adults. There are currently some studies going on to see if people who were given this years vaccine (which protects against H1N1) develop less severe illness when they are infected with H3N2 (the circulating strain this year). So far, it looks like there is no real cross-protection, but it's still a little early to tell. You may have just gotten lucky and been infected with a strain of H1N1 that is different from the H1N1 in the vaccine, but close enough to reduce the symptoms. Who knows, when it comes down the molecular stuff I'm definitely not as up to date as I am with the epidemiology stuff.

Glad you're feeling better though!
