I'm Still Standing

Last week my beloved housemate fell victim to a nasty little bug, she was quite literally down and out for the better part of three days. Everyday I would come home from work and find her passed out on the couch in a NyQuil induced slumber, even with the excitement of the new nieces being born she was unreachable. She has since recovered, but all week I have been fighting the minor symptoms of what may in fact be the same bug. I felt fine just long enough to pay a visit to the Brother and baby Matilda only to come home and shortly thereafter have my nose start running like an Olympic athlete. I was sure that by yesterday I too would be confined to my comfy bed, but not so. I am still going, thanks to the beloved jar of DayQuil that has accompanied me to my desk each day. If only I had a "sick" excuse to get out of my homework!
