There has been a sickness that has been going around recently. It’s been making all of my coworkers sick, my dad sick, and even my neighbors. It’s awful and I have been doing my absolute best to avoid getting it...unfortunately it seems that I am up. For weeks I have been doing my best by eating medicine like candy and drowning myself in water. It seems that nothing can hold back this unfortunate reality. 

It’s started slow. First frequent headaches to then stomach aches. Then it went to being a sneeze and from there developed to my throat starting to burn. My manger Dancer says that his got so bad that it felt like blood going down his throat every time he swallowed. Nothing helped and no matter what he did he couldn’t seem to get rid of it. It took him about a week to finally have his voice and be back in a somewhat functional state. Others at my job have gotten lucky and have one had the sickens for a day before it disappeared. 

Of course it would be my luck to start getting sick a few days before Christmas. It seems that December is really out to get me this year. Of course December is already hard to deal with anyway and honestly I never liked the month. I love the cold but I don’t like all the drama December brings. It makes the holiday feel null to me. 

I can say that even though I won’t be feeling good that I am excited for the next few days. I have plans with my neighbors and some of my coworkers. I even plan to probably get destroyed on Christmas but who knows, if I feel terrible enough it may not happen. 

In any case I hope you all are fighting off this awful virus and those that haven’t gotten it yet, stay away, it truly is awful.
