apple_pathwaysThe children are full of plague. Half of them are coming in with coughs and runny noses: they sit there sniffling and hacking, refusing tissues when I offer. "BLOW YOUR NOSE!" I insist, thrusting the box of Kleenex at them. "AND THEN USE THIS!" (The bottle of hand sanitizer.)
When they leave, I cover everything in a thick mist of Lysol. We'll see if my precautions work. I spent the entire month of November sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection: I may be immune to whatever bug is currently making the rounds, or I may not. If I need to go see the doctor for antibiotics again, I'm hitting up the parents for donations to pay my doctor bills.
