Man Cold

Cough, cough cough! Ack, Ack Ack!  Did you ever notice that the second someone gets the sniffles or cold symptoms everyone else’s sympathy, empathy,  and any other ‘pathy’ seems to go by the wayside? You get texts of stay away from me!   Like seriously???   I’m a grown adult and if I don’t know that by now then just shoot me! I lived through 2020 with the threat ‘of the vid’ walking into my house everyday.  I had a house full of essential workers and they had papers to prove it ! So there is no need to tell me what to do or not do when your hubby comes home sick as a dog, only God knows what he brought home.   But it was enough to make the man sick and not go to work.   That means he is sick !!!  That means I need to take care of him!!  Which in short equates to making lots of tea with honey and lemon. Bringing him meds and checking to see if he’s not dead yet!  At one point he was like my teeth and my head hurt so much!!!   Like you need to ride it out it will go away.   I did however say when he was describing it pressure/pain teeth falling out of head….. I was like hey this is me 24hrs/7days a week!   No way ! It can’t be!  Try me, why do you think I go see evil Dr nerve pain, physio et al?  As well as trying to avoid getting it which was inevitable.   My empathy went out the door day 1 as I wanted him to quarantine in his room because I didn’t want nor did I need to get sick.  But when I did get his crocodile infestation, my only rant was when he was sick I was home to take care of him…..no one is here taking care of me nor do they want to come near me with a 10ft pole !    All the ‘pathy’ tossed out the window!
