Just a cold

I know that I have been MIA for awhile. Between travel and now a cold, I have been laying low. Based upon the symptoms, it's not the H1N1 influenza (swine flu). But, like always, I try very hard to not expose others to my germs, so I am being a hermit for the next week or so. Only Chuck will get the pleasure of seeing me coughing and sneezing. Even then, he gets to do it from a distance and we sleep in separate parts of the house, hoping to stop the germ spread.

I'm a bit irritated that I managed to get sick. When H1N1 broke we had been in the sealed tin can (airplane) to Beijing, then on 4 more flights with constant washing hands, not touching anything, and using our spray hand sanitizer. I was thrilled that I managed to get through all those flights without any problems. Ahhh, not so fast.

Father in law sits next to 'snot boy' on an airplane from the Midwest to the East Coast. FIL gets sick, gives it to niece, niece gets sick, niece flies to Paris, gives it to me.

Hopefully this runaway germ train will stop with me.

In the meantime, I'll hangout with my nyquil and dayquil supplies (from the US), piles of tissues, and endless supply of water. Cheers!
