Homer's Travels: Sharing Sometimes Sucks

Sharing Sometimes Sucks

When I grew up, I was told that sharing was a good thing.  I don't think they were thinking about viruses.

The Wife, a teacher exposed to all kind of high school cooties, brought some of her work with her last Friday.  For the next three days she was miserable.  Two days after getting all better, it's my turn.

My nose is running.  My head feels like it's going to explode in a cloud of snot and brain gunk.  Last night I got little sleep.  I kept trying to shift around so that my sinuses could drain to relieve the pressure but I wasn't very successful.  I had some minor body aches that kept me from getting comfortable.  I was very tempted to get my drill and shove it up my nostril in an attempt to unplug my nose.

I'm now all drugged up and I feel a little better.  If it progresses like the Wife's, I'll be through it by Saturday.  Until then, I'll catch up on my CSI reruns and Sniff*Snort*Achoo*Drip*Ugh.

Some things shouldn't be shared.

    Crossing my fingers.
