I keep telling myself I am going to start writing...anything...but never get past a catchy title and visions of fame and fortune. Funny, no one is paying for catchy titles these days. Oh well....
Today's excitement is sickness. One thing my wife has gotten me into to combat sickness is spraying my nose full of saline. It is a bit tricky, trying to figure out when to breathe in, when to squeeze the bottle, etc. She just sprays for a mist, but when I do it, I want to feel like something is happening. That is why I feel like I am drowning in the pool of a cheap motel when I use it. But there is something cool about putting something up one nostril and having it come out the other nostril. I could never get the spaghetti coming out the nose AND mouth at the same time trick to work, so this gives a small satisfaction to that desire.
I am sick, my daughter seems to be sick, and now I think my wife is getting it. The question is, can one family continually pass sickness around ad nauseum? I am contemplating having guests over and secretly coughing on them, just to break the cycle. To be kind, maybe we'll just have a single person over. That way, he or she has no one to give it back to him/her. So, if you get an invite from a family that seems a bit off to come over the next couple of days, be wary. It may be us trying to break the cycle.
