2. Chiefly Southern U.S. Sickly; ill.

At our house over the two days, we have been vying for the top spot on who feels the puniest.  Hubby has the worst cough and rough-sounding throat, I feel the weakest and most like a limp rag, and have a bad throat as well, and Dear Son sounds like he is trying to play catchup with us, since he got a late start on his feeling puny.  We all three feel small and weak and sickly, and vaguely insignificant -- weird how that goes with being sick!

I'm not doing much of anything except being a layabout, but I guess that's the best thing I can do.  Hopefully I'll get back on track soon -- I miss the energy I had before all this started!
