sick

It's been a rough few days for the Aplands. It started last Monday when Keith started getting sick with a really nasty cold. On Friday, I started coming down with it. Saturday was my worst day, and lucky for me it came and went (for the most part) pretty quickly. By Sunday I thought the worst was over, so I changed the sheets, towels, toothbrushes, bath sponges, did all the laundry and cleaned everything from top to bottom to de-germ the place. Then out of nowhere, Keith wakes up really early Monday morning with flu-like symptoms. It was terrible. He's feeling better now, but I am ready for us to both be completely healthy and back to normal. This is the first day in four days that I've even had coffee, which is a pretty big deal for me. I've spent so much time vertical that my back is now killing me. I did some yoga this morning, which seems to be the only thing providing any relief.

I suppose it's better for this to be happening now than when we go home for Christmas in five weeks! Five weeks! I can't believe it.
