Don't count your chickens before they hatch...

     Yesterday I woke up and found myself feeling a lot better. I still had a lot of congestion and what not but figured I wouldn't let that stop me. I announced to Tom that we need to deep clean our house and rid it of the infestation of germs that had taken hold over the last week and a half. This included sweeping, mopping, tons of laundry, etc. When we woke up Tom seemed fine, maybe a little congest like me, but nothing too serious. Well as the day wore on he started complaining of congestion, watery eyes, itchiness in the face, and feeling like he had to sneeze every five seconds. He said it felt like allergies but not because he doesn't have any allergies that he is aware of. Occasionally, he would turn to me with his face all read and one side all screwed up because it was itchy or leaking or something...it was super funny and I had to try my hardest not to laugh. Poor thing...he got stuck with kind of a lame wife. Anyway, we were super confused because as far as we knew we hadn't been doing anything differently so we had no idea where said allergies would have come from. 

     When I was sick as a kid I remember Mom would always get me a slurpee to sip on and that always made me feel better. Unfortunately, as Tom and I learned this last week, January in Utah is not exactly slurpee weather. That being said, I decided last night that I would make Tom Russian Tea, which is another thing that I remember Mom doing when I was a kid. So last night as we're headed to bed Tom tells me that he's feeling cold. I about fell over; Tom never gets cold--it's almost like he's part furnace. I gave him a blanket and asked him to take his temperature and sure enough he had a fever. Poor thing. We think that maybe I didn't catch the what I had from him after all, rather that he had something entirely different and while he was trying to get over it and his immune system was weakened he caught what I had. But, in reality the world may never know. So, we were thinking we were through being sick, but in the life threw us a curve ball. Poor guy, I hope he get's over this soon, because it's no bueno.

Stay safe and Healthy!
