If you came to this blog hoping for a scathing criticism of the general depravity currently overwhelming the human population, then I am sorry to disappoint you. I am not speaking globally, nor am I referring to a state of mind. No, I just mean that everyone is sick. Haven’t you noticed?
Baby Edward has been sick for almost two months, with a few breaks in between colds, and now has a double ear infection. Ruby was up all night throwing up last night, and poor Simone had to deal with it, because I did not wake up. This was because of my Nyquil overdose that kept me nice and sedated as I try and get rid of my horrible cold. Oh, and Simone is kind of sick herself.
Actually, I am trying hard to think of someone I know that has not been sick recently. I know, I know, ’tis the season, right? But it seems worse this year. Colds seem to be lasting longer, and spreading faster. And it’s not just near me either. All of my facebook friends seem to be regularly posting that they are sick, so unless germs are spreading via facebook now, it’s not just me that is spreading it around.
I have no further hypothesis on why things are worse this year. I don’t know if the weirding of weather, with its hot, then cold, then hot again lunacy is to blame. I am not sure if people are traveling more, thus spreading more germs. I can’t even say for sure if the overuse of “hand sanitizer” that lasts three seconds is causing germs to become stronger and stronger, leading up to the eventual takeover of our government by the “Theraflu Party.”
No, I am simply here to complain. And sniffle. Being sick sucks. Pass the tissues.
