Sick As A Dog

Today is day five of my self-imposed encampment in my little condo. I had a short break after staying close to home whilst we weathered a lot of snow, severe low temperatures (which we still have), and most of all my younger son's illness which seems like a cold². I use the present tense "seems" because though he is 95% better-- I now have "it." Funny how being locked up with a sick, oozy person can leave you sick and oozy. I've been dealing with this bump in my road of life for going on a week and not to be punny, but I'm sick of it!

I won't run through all the details--they are quite icky. What bothers me most is what I guess bothers a lot of folks --the inability to do what you need or want to do. Fortunately, I can get out of bed now so overall, I'm getting done what I must. But I can't even walk the dog! And I would go except we been dealing with -30F wind chills! Our little dog refuses to walk in that and frankly, even when healthy, so do I.

So cooped up, stir crazy, and sick is where I'm at now and hope not to be ASAP.
