Apologies for missing yesterday’s post. It’s because of the various bugs that the wee one’s been bringing home since her school reopened after the Christmas holidays. Last week we had to keep her home every day but Monday, so that threw a spanner in the works: I wanted to finish editing a book I’ve been ghostwriting; instead, I ended up not even opening the file once. And I even missed a blog post.
Now, both Electra and I have caught whatever Natalie had, so we’re both down. Adding insult to, well, snot (lots and lots of snot!), this ruined our weekend. It might even be the dreaded flu, as the infamous H1N1 variety has been a literal pandemic over here lately, to the point that they closed down the elementary school in our neighborhood for one whole week in a vain attempt to stop it. It’s a good thing all three of us had been vaccinated against it, so the symptoms are pretty mild!
Still, tomorrow’s post has now been scheduled, so normal service is to resume shortly (or, at least, that’s my hope)!

Thank you, Priscilla! It’s weird how, during the day, I oscillate between “I’m dying” and “I’m cured!” 😀

I hear you. There’s nothing like school to collect germs. There’s a measles outbreak on the other side of our state, too. I’m just waiting for that to hit.

Yikes! I had measles as a child and both the missus and the wee one have been vaccinated, so that’s fine. But it’s a pretty scary one, especially for older patients!

It’s just so stupid and unnecessary that we even have to worry about measles any more.

Thanks! The wee one’s fine now, for the most part (still some coughing at night), but the two of us are still struggling. Oh well, we’ll get there 🙂
