I’d be really happy to tell you that it is a computer virus, or even a garden pest, but it’s one of those upper respiratory thangs.
Yesterday morning, I had a scratchy throat when I woke, and felt better after breakfast. By 10:00 in the morning I was sneezing, and coughing, and by early afternoon those coughs started around my navel and came through like freight trains loose on a downward grade.
I won’t go on about how rotten I feel, but I want to warn you that something nasty is out there. Take every precaution you can to avoid this. Have the kids wash hands frequently, and avoid playdates with anyone who has a sick family member.
If you catch it, a doctor friend has recommended Vitamin C. I’ll tell you that hot chicken noodle soup and hot tea are very comforting. Go stock up on tissues. This is one time when you will want the tissues with aloe. Your nose will thank you!
And, Hook…..don’t even suggest that this is my penance for butt watching!
