Sick Day

Well, this week we are practicing our epidemiology lesson. If, say, a baby boy gets sick and feels so lousy that he wants his Mother to hold and comfort him while he coughs germs all over her face for several days in a row, she will undoubtedly get sick. This was the premise of last week’s lesson. We are now into the lab portion.

Experimentation has shown that said Mother will, indeed, get sick under such circumstances. Unfortunately, baby boy is still sick and has managed to also infect two sisters so now I have me and three children under age five sick. It’s really delightful and is involving much wailing and gnashing of teeth (by me).

On the plus side, my massive website upgrade is nearly done, which makes me indescribably happy. I was hoping to get almost everything wrapped up this week but have been somewhat waylaid by the aforementioned illness, so my timeline is off by a week or so. It’s very depressing since I was looking forward to returning to my native habitat and leaving the confines of my bedroom office where I have been sequestered now for far too long.

Maybe a handsome prince will come kiss me and sweep me away. Oh wait, that already happened. Guess that’s the virus talking. Anyway, hopefully next week will bring good work news and a family returned to health. Guess I should go wipe Henry snot off my sleeve and take a nap.

Prost!
