I've been amazed at this year's flu season. I, who hardly ever get sick, and very very rarely sick for more than a day, had the sinus/cough flu for over two weeks in October. Many friends have had it at various strengths, and this month my jurors are getting hit pretty hard. Everyone get your flu shots, get lots of sleep, and so on. You all know the drill.
Chaz has not (so far) had this bug, at least not at a really strong level. He's had coughs, and the last week or so has had an intermittent fever. I've shamelessly taken advantage of this, I'm afraid. I ride my bike once a day. We've had a strong storm system the last week or so, and even when I ride between rainstorms my fingers still get very cold. (The weather is in the low fifties, plus whatever wind chill my trike delivers.) When I get back from my ride, I can check my husband's temperature my putting my fingers against his forehead. Ah, so warm. Usually he claims that my fingers feel nicely cool against his brow, but today he's a lot better. Oops.
