[Tarango's Quarters]

Barbara didn't expected to be this sick. In fact, she hasn't been sick in a very long time. She has always been known to take care of herself using tea with herbs in it. A couple of hours ago, she was relieved from work as Doctor Bowen discovered that she has a flu.

Not very common around here, she thought as she picked up her unfinished crochet; a blanket that is half done. She brought it to the bed and moved herself under the covers, keeping her back against the headboard so she can sit up.

She stopped a few times to sneeze and took a tissue from the tissue box on her nightstand. "Just miserable...," she wipped her nose and threw the tissue in the wastebasket. "I'm never going to visit the starbase by feeling this way."

Barbara continued where she left off on her blue blanket. She planned to give this nice blanket to her brother, Thomas. Four weeks ago, she found out that his wife is pregnant. It is nice to know that the DNA extracted from the fetus these days, can tell what the sex of the baby is going to be. A baby boy.

Since she is slow right now, she knew that she has plenty of time to finish it. Doing crochet has helped her forget being miserable and sick. But, she is concerned that the flu medicine has not helped her after six hours. I'll just wait till tomorrow to see what happens and go see Doctor Bowen.
