I dread the opening of the new school year. It’s the time that I am most vulnerable to coming down with something. All I can figure it that all the kids coming back from PSU from their summer vacation bring new bugs back with them. Classes started two weeks ago and sure enough I’m battling (hope it’s not swine flu).
Two of the last three years I managed to dodge a bullet by basically shutting down doing much of anything once I sense something coming on (usually it’s with a slight cough, throat tingle, or nasal congestion). Of course, last year, not only didn’t I dodge the bullet but I got hit with a cannonball.
I’m in shutdown mode now. I’m battling a tingly throat along with a slight cough. Knock on wood that it doesn’t explode into another asthma bout (or worse).
