another day, another set of germs

after vanquishing the strep in january, i thought i had conquered my one battle with disease for the winter season but i have been forced to acknowledge by a relatively unpleasant cough that it is possible for me to take ill more than once per season. i don't feel that sick, but i can't sleep that well because the coughing wakes me up. and lord help the person that says something funny to me- the laugh- closely- followed- by- hacking- cough- followed- in- turn- by- gasping- for- breath darn near kills me.

perhaps i should adopt matt's stringent hand sanitizer policies. he hasn't been sick all year.
