Okay, kids, what's today's virus?!

We all have those moments where we just throw up our arms and go, "Okay, God. What the heck?" That has been my "thought of the moment" for the past month now. I'm starting to be on my toes and go frantic because as soon as this current bout of sinusitis clears, I'm wondering what's behind Door #5. Will it be a bright, shiny new stomach flu!? Or a handy dandy throat cold!?

I need to start logging these illnesses so maybe by the time I'm 25, I'll be immune to ALL COLDS AND YUCKY THINGS. Yes, they'll have to give me the Nobel Prize for "Being the Living Antibody for All Attacks Against the Immune System." Oh yes, I can see it now.

"We award you, Miss Chelsea, for being such a human trooper and battling these body wars. You somehow survived them all, and therefore, we venerate you and claim that you are the living cure for all colds."

Didn't think I'd be famous for that, though. I had hoped my future children's book or novel would do that one. Alas, my ambitions will have to change due to the increasing cesspool of germies à la small children.

After finding out two other disgusting diseases that are going around M-R right now, I see no finish line for the race of being free from illness yet. Let's just say if I get one of them (because they are quite disturbingly sick), I'm going to throw myself into a vat of anti-bacterial hand sanitizer and then find myself a super-sterile bubble to live for the rest of my days. Move over, Bubble Boy, it'll be Bubble Girl Reinvented, and I'll need my space.

I wonder if employers of the education field look highly upon a sickly teacher candidate... after all, it shows that you're probably in contact with young'uns a LOT and are kindred spirits with the concept of "Sharing is Caring." Well, we'll find out on Tuesday when CPS is graced by my amoxicillin-pumped vessel of a teacher. ;)
