Some Cool Pics from my Project

Okay... so I shot at least 5 photos every hour for 12 hours today, and let me tell you, it was a lot harder than I had thought. I know just starting to get over the flu wasn't the best of days to do this project, but I had to have something to work on tomorrow in class.

I'm trying to look at it as a learning experience.

I had so many ideas and places I was going to go and things I was going to photograph...and then I got the flu. Oh well, I only need 3 final images from the bunch anyway so I hope I have a few diamonds in the rough.

Here are a couple of the photos I liked from today.

The first was was taken at 7am this morning of my dog Tigger. She was not happy at all. She hates taking pictures. The next one was when we went to PetSmart just leaving the parking lot. I just stopped the car and took the photo of how empty the shopping center was around 2pm. The third one is of my dog and my youngest son around 5pm.

You can really see how different the light is at these various times of day. I know they are not the greatest images, but I like them. I'm surprised I got anything decent with how terrible and weak I still feel today.

Well it's time for bed now. I have class early tomorrow and it lasts for 6 hours. I'll leave you with this cool pic I took during our last photography lecture. We get to work on the best computers there it's pretty cool.

Getting over the Flu

Wow...so the flu really sucks. Today is the first day I've had without a fever in the last 4 days! I'm still pretty sick but just not having that fever really makes a world of difference. I haven't quite gotten my appetite back, or my strength, but I know I'll start feeling better as each day goes by.

I know my darling son had to have brought this monster of a bug into our home because he was the first one who was sick. I just thought he was getting a cough because of all the fires we've had around here lately and the ash has been pretty harsh, but no we couldn't have been that lucky! He just got worse every day and I soon followed.

My older son and my grandmother have been spared for the most part. We stayed away from granny so she wouldn't get sick and my older son just seems to be fighting it much better. He never got a fever and just had a mild cough and still insisted he went to school. He saw the school nurse even just to make sure and she seemed fine with him being there as long as he didn't have a fever.

I, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten the full brunt of the fever part of this nasty thing. The whole fever, chills, fatigue thing just isn't fun at all. I ate only small amounts of chicken soup and lots of water for 4 days.

At least I lost 10 pounds!

I Got the Flu!

Talk about bad luck! I started feeling really crappy a couple of days ago and today I feel like I'm practically dying. I have a really bad cough, with my bad asthma my breathing isn't the best, I have body aches all over and a fever. I just know I'm going to be worse tomorrow.

I made homemade chicken soup for dinner and it was such a struggle to cook it. I'm really fatigued and I feel like everything is taking so much of an effort. Right now I'm just hoping I don't have the swine flu.

My boys are also sick. The youngest felt really sick over the weekend but today he says he feels much better and he just has a little cough but I can see he isn't much better. My oldest is trying to fight it like I am. However, I think I'm losing that battle.

Anyone have any remedies or suggestions?
