    We know. We're just hoping if you nip it in the bud it won't go looking for a new host.

    If it's any consolation, I think my allergies have been up this week, so I don't know if that's what's causing your sore throat, but at least allergies aren't contagious.

    How is Don feeling otherwise?

    Oh Mimi I feel for you! Back in 2008 they tried to remove my sister's lung tumor. Unsuccessful, but she still had to recover from lung surgery. I had taken off work with the idea that I could be home for up to 6 weeks helping to take care of her as she recovered. I ended up getting a wicked respiratory infection and before I could get out of their house, I gave it to her. UGH. WORST SISTER EVER. She kept saying - you don't know that I got it from you. I pointed out that she hadn't been out of the house for 2 weeks. Really a no-brainer there.

    At least we laugh about it. Now.

    Hope you are feeling better pronto and that the black cloud clearly following you around, gets lost!

    The Donald feels great. He went on a bike ride in the glorious sun, while I laid down with a book -- also in the sun. We have a 100k to do tomorrow and gee, which one of us looks like they might not be up for it?? (sigh)
    He is amazing, that's all I can say.

    Possegal, argh, so it DOES happen. EEEEEK.

    Honestly, it was my own stupidity. The minute I started to feel like I was possibly getting sick, I should have told her and taken the precautions to keep my germs to myself. It was complicated and not worth explaining it all but if I had just said - oh hey, I think I may be getting sick, and then started sanitizing things and keeping my distance from her, even putting on a mask, I bet it would have turned out differently. So I'd say let me be the lesson and don't try and pretend it is all fine, which you clearly are not based on your post here. And we'll all keep hoping that this is nothing and you wake up tomorrow and think - well what was that all about?

    It was so stupid considering I was the one making everyone else be cautious and keeping her healthy all the rest of the time. Seriously stupid of me.

    gargling with warm salt water seems to be helping! (Thanks for reminding me)
    woke up today feeling better.
    Today is day 2 of a warming trend here, so I am glad we didn't schedule the ride for tomorrow!
