Dear So and So

[Grog]

Dear virus thingamagigs living in my chestal section,

I would appreciate if you wouldn't decide to lie dormant an hour and a half before I am about to see the doctor. This always happens. I schedule an appointment for the doctor and you magically go away. They must think I'm nuts! I really am coughing up stuff, and it is hard to breath sometimes, and it ALWAYS happens after I start riding outside more than 2 days a week since the beginning of the year.

I would also appreciate it if you would cool it and leave me alone so when I actually get motivated to commute home from work I don't feel wiped out and gross. I reallyreallyreally want to ride for more than a week and a half at a time before having to take a break because I'm sick again.

Thanks a bunch,
Me (the brains of this whole operation)

Maybe you should consider riding your bike along with your doctor? That would keep the nasties at bay.
