PATRICE'S PERSPECTIVE
Now I understand that cold/flu season is upon us all. I lovingly refer to this season as Booger Disease season. Why? Well because it seems that no matter how many daily vitamins a person ingests, it is not enough to fend off whatever bug is roaming around town.
Lysol spray, is also no match for the invaders. Sometimes I swear they are super-powered bugs, ready to send even the healthiest person straight to bed for 5-10 days, before heading off to the next person in their home. It’s a nasty cycle, of humidifiers, cough drops, syrups, chills, extreme fatigue and everything in between. And the cycle doesn’t seem to end, it just morphs from one disease to the next.
You just got done with the influenza? Cool, how about a delightful round of pneumonia. Don’t worry once that clears up, we’ll hit you with some bronchitis or strep, to top off your relaxing winter months.
I feel like if you live in a place where your face freezes off within five minutes of outdoor exposure - that place should not be a stable enough environment for 50 million strains of God knows what to be living their best life within our bodies. Sheesh! I am unwell if you haven’t gathered that by this point. So is my father, daughter and daughter’s boyfriend. It’s only a matter of time, before mom and the husband join the bandwagon of boogers. With any luck, by the time the last two catch something, the rest of us will be somewhat healthy enough to help them through the misery of booger disease.
