Somewhere down the line my body has decided to be a complete and utter wuss. This summer I had two migraines that took place within only days of each other - I normally get a migraine a year - this fall I got the cough from hell that wouldn't go away, and just when it finally clears up after nearly two months, I get the flu. It's not a bad flu - I didn't wake up feeling worse and actually feel a little better today - but, dang it, I don't usually get sick this much!
All I can figure is that it's either because we have so many people living in the house now - my brother and his family - and though they're an easy-going bunch it can still be stressful at times (especially where the bathroom is concerned. We only have one). Or it's because I now work in the nursery at church, which means being around a lot of little kids who haven't learned to cover their mouths when they cough. We try to keep it a germ free environment but, again, no mouth-covering when kids cough, and some of the kids are still at that age where they like to put things in their mouths. I'm definitely thinking it's the latter.
Oh well. Maybe it'll mean a stronger immune system :/

or quit because it is part and parcel of caring for those little two footed balls of energy.

Soooo many times when they'll be sitting in your lap, wanting to cuddle, and only tell you after ten minutes or so that they've been feeling horrible all week... XD Nef and I actually came down with croup a while back. I can't remember getting that even when we were little, but now... heh.

Fortunately we lived in a town where the doctor, a Turk,
had returned from US where he had gone through medical school, internship and residency at John Hopkins
He treated my case at home, but odd thing was when he checked my roommate, she was not contagious.
