It seems a lot of people on the thread is either ill, or dealing with illness in the home. I teach 5th grade and have not had a full class in 3 weeks. They finally "shared" with me just before the holiday. The cough in horrendous and now I have no voice. The only good point is that I have been able to follow everyone online, all day. It is nice to be in tough with so many like minded people.
i have been sick for 3 days now. Most of the symptoms were gone in the first day, except the usual 2 hour commode visit. I have not been sick more than a slight sniffle in years. It takes something pretty nasty to last this long.
