The weather's been mild, but this winter's been a bad one for illnesses. Everyone I know has battled or is battling something, usually for much longer than normal. The same goes here. Confine four adults in one house and the germs just fly back and forth.
In the past few weeks we've all come down with colds. Last week Bruce and his mom called off sick from work. Yesterday I called off and today Bruce's dad did. Each one of us is laying around somewhere with sweats on, coughing and sniffling. It's gross.
I'm just glad it hasn't affected Emmie so far - knock on wood. She's in the best shape of us all. It's hard to chase around a little one who's full of energy when you feel terrible, though. Also, I'll be relieved to get through this season without any of us contracting the flu. Bruce, Emmie, and I have had flu shots (not that they're effective this year, anyways). Bruce's parents haven't.
I start school again tonight. My goal is to get as much rest and fluids as possible before I go. Needless to say, class will be short.
Pass the tissues, please...
UPDATE: Bruce reminded me that in fact, Emmie was sick, over her birthday and Christmas. So maybe this is all her doing! Where could she have gotten it from? It's not like she goes to work, haha.
