I am starting to freak out a little bit. First Dad came back from a sheep hunt in the NWT with a wicked head cold and flu symptoms, then he passed it on to Mom. Sorry, I normally would be a good daughter and take over some food or stop and see if they needed anything - but HELL NO!!!! I am not going within a mile of that farm!
Then Andrew missed a week of work with the flu, but luckliy for me, he was flat out in bed and had Vanessa to care for him and see that he did not die. I talked to him on the phone a couple of times, but unlike a caring Mom, I let him fend for himself.
Then Megan and I spent two days painting trim at the workshop and I decided that I needed a baker's rack for one wall. While we were Googling to find the baker's rack, I noticed that her nose was lightly running. I warned her not to go out on Halloween night in her SKIMPY costume ( of course, every 19 year old girl has to wear about six square inches of fabric) and get hammered and then come down with something horrible. Well, little did I know, it was too late already for my old lady advise.
Halloween morning, Megan was already in the hospital, half dead and needed fluids and stuff to calm her stomach down. She missed the big Halloween party at Twin Butte and she had to phone me to tell me that it was all my fault (????) The workshop was too cold, apparently. Marcie had to go and look after her because she was so sick. I just spent two whole days with her. Shit!!!
I just talked to her and she was crying because she feels so bad and she has to clean a commercial building tonight and then read meters for Alta Gas tomorrow. I guess that I will go and clean the property for her, but I am not going anywhere near her!!!!!!!!
I have desserts to bake this week, kits to prep for shipping and a whole lot of painting to do in the workshop and house. Then pick up Edna and Debbie and head to the crop. I CAN NOT BE SICK!!! Of course, my imagination is running away with me and my eyes feel scratchy and my nose was running yesterday. Am I paranoid, or what???
To top it all off, there have been a lot of women at the Inn that have been sick during the weekend. I have been avoiding everybody that even looks tired! I just hope that Megan is feeling well enough to cover for me when I leave for the Jingle Bell Crop!

I think if you slather yourself in hand sanitizer.... you should be fine. And you will smell really good too!
Kim commented before me! It's hard not to be paranoid right now with all the media attention on H1N1. I had a cold already after Thanksgiving and it seemed to hand on for almost 2 weeks. I avoided going to my brother and SIL this weekend as my SIL had a bit of a cold and I refused to get it! Hang tough and I hope the girls recover.
