Regardless of how good your immune system is and regardless of the fact that you never seem to get sick . . . when a house of six kids has all six of them sick with the flu, play it smart and don't venture through the doors.
Well, I did venture through the doors and now find myself with a very mild cough and congested chest. I swear kids are bigger carriers than rats were for the plague. To some it is a cold, to me it is a minor annoyance. I don't consider this being sick . . . a minor cough does not sick make. However, it makes working out a pain in the ass. Yesterday and today I haven't done any type of cross training because of this yak, but I've been getting in short walks (4-5 miles) so there is movement. This nuisance will be gone before the end of the week, but I do have to say my immune system kicks ass. When everyone in that house ended up with the flu and full-on body aches, I walk away with a little cough. Gotta love it.
Janet, do you have a sturdy bag to use for your grocery shopping? When I was in Cleveland, I used my Vera bags for the trips to the store, and it was great. I have two larger Vera's and one of them I never use. If you want it, I can mail it to you. Fill it up and when it's full you know your trip is done with and it's time to head back home. Plus, those sturdy bags never rip and you will never drop anything on the trek back home.
When I got out here, I did the same thing over the summer. The store is 2 miles away here (it was only 1.5 miles away in Cleveland), but my bag worked out just as well. But for me, the fact that I had to carry my groceries back home never dictated what I purchased.
Sorry to hear you still have that frog. BUT glad you have a rockin immune system and are fighting it off without much trouble. And still able to get in walks which is great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the offer of the bag. Luckily, this grocery store is only half a mile away, and I ended up going today as well, so I figure I can just swing by when I need to grab a couple small items.
