Sick

I haven't been sick in months.

I contributed this to my no longer living at home with those little disease factories I call my children. Before I left home for Utah (July 4th),I would get something just about every two weeks. It was such a regular event, getting sick, that you could damn near set your clock to it. Since I left home last July, I hadn't had even so much as a sniffle.

Then the family moved up, my oldest starting attending the CDD (Center for Disease Distribution, aka school)and I started spending time at home. And now, I have a cold.

The worst part is that it's not so bad that I can justify to myself calling in sick, since I can still function just fine. But it's damned irritating all the same. I've sneezed more in the last three days then I have in probably the last year, maybe two.

But at least it's progressing: Last night was the start of the lung-butter induced coughing, so you know, there's that to look forward to.
