The state of the sickroom

Well, now I can say that the whole family has officially gotten sick, though suffering in various stages of blechy-ness. Youngest son, who had something wrong with him last week (or was it the week before?), had recovered only to get the conjunctivitis et al last night.  The house is one huge bedroom.  Sheets spread out over the sofa, the extra comfy chair, and trickling down onto the floor.  Clean piles of clothes being sorted in a need-to-know manner.  Like, if you need it, I know where to find it.  Oldest son, who also has the eye infection went to work this morning only to return shortly thereafter.  Way to go.  Work beckons and it's darn hard to not go sometimes.  I admire our kids' work ethic, but really, health does trump work at times (should at all times, if you ask me).

it's what it is...

I think I'm confused.  My brain function is sorta stinky.  And I keep biting my tongue in the same spot, which is no help at all when I cough.

I hope none of you fine folks out there get what we've had.  Bonnie, you said you guys had had it, or I'm guessing something similar.  And you, Aneta...maybe yours was flu.  It stinks big time, doesn't it?

I don't think our house or lives will ever run smoothly again.  It's like we're stuck in a vortex of head congestion, sore throats and tissues.  A revolving door illness.

Had to take second son (who is also sick, yet working) to leave off his car to get new tires, then take him to work.  His timing for getting the car worked on is choice, I'm thinking.  ::sarcasm::  Thankfully he's off tomorrow.  He can do nothing for a change.  My bad move was going afterward to the drug store (for necessities, really) and then the grocery store (which was really more than I could bear).  But, shoot, if everyone's sick, who's going to run errands?  Well, Gary called me when I was waiting for our son, said he'd do the store trip, but he's sick too!!!  It's a sad state of affairs.  ::whining::  When Gary found out all I'd done (checking on me from the shop, where he was working as well), he gave me the lecture about doing too much.  Am laid out in bed now.  He was right.

Fortunately tomorrow will be an at-home day except for taking son to get his car which will have been outfitted with dishy new tires. Looking forward to warmer weather (sometime, don't know when), but 70+ degree weather and sunshine sure would be nice right about now.
