We’re different.

Ross let me know this afternoon that he was starting to get a sore throat. He asked me to pick up soup, orange juice, and Zicam on the way home. He’s now lying on the couch with a very snuggly dog preparing to alternatively sleep and “pee out” the sickness. And it will totally work, as it always does. I honestly think I could bring home an exotic strand of smallpox and he would just drink some water, take a nap, and it will all be over in a matter of hours.

Cut to a week and a half ago with me having the same symptoms. Instead of resting, I decided to keep staying up late and stressing out about important things like how I will never keep our dogs from scratching up the new floors. Then I spent 3 days in bed with a 100+ fever.

You’d think I would have caught on by now.

  1. I decide that I’m not going to get sick and then I don’t get sick. It works well. You should try it.

  3. Apparently you and I have a common blog friend. Andrea left a comment on my blog that she has a friend in Scotland who has a friend named Valerie who lives in Richmond. When Andrea linked to your blog from mine, she found that her friend in Scotland’s Valerie is the same as MY Valerie – YOU. Woo!

    I have no idea if any of that makes one ounce of sense.
