dodging microbes

[somari]

Now that my sister is running to the bathroom every 15 minutes, it's apparent that over the course of the past four days, everybody in my house has contracted the same stomach ailment. That is, everybody except me. I'm trying to remain extra-careful about my contact with them, at least for the next couple of days, because after taking three days off, I can't really afford to lose any more time this week. Lord knows it's probably an inevitability for me to fall ill as well, and the pathogen involved is probably already circulating in my system as I type, but we can still have a little hope.

I'll be administering industrial-sized dollops of hand sanitizer, just in case that ever helps. Couldn't hurt, right?
