Infection!
The Selleck household has been overrun by illness! Unfortunately for the good of our little home Amy has come down with a nasty headcold/sinus leakage thing. I’ve been doing my best to keep her comfortable and pumped full of anti-sickness medication, but not a whole lots seems to be working.
We’ve both guessed that the bug originated from me a couple of days ago when I woke up with a sore throat due to a nasal drip. The weather in Oregon has been so dull lately and we began sleeping with our window open and a gentle breeze must have kicked up in the middle of the evening. This prompted something in my head to leak into the back of my throat which eventually lead to cold/flu symptoms.
The worst of it is that I must have infected Amy, Toby, Jen, and a hand full of others with limited social interaction. I’m not entirely sure if I view my new infectious nature as a good or bad thing. On one hand I’m starting to feel better, but on the other I have the equivalent of a super-cold that can infect at a glance.
Amy, at least, seems to be on the mend. After the first day or two she was really lethargic and then she started to have a deep voice like Barry White, but she seems to be picking up steam now. However, our good friend Toby was not so lucky. He may miss a date this evening with a very nice girl on the account that he and I made eye contact (instant infection). I have apologized to Toby, but only after making fun of his weak immune system.
Ultimately I’ve been attempting to limit interaction with clients and friends. The only exception was the exposure to Brandon the other night when Storm died. I have complete faith that Brandon has a very robust immune system that he inherited from his extremely tough German heritage. Seriously, those Germans are tough.
Off to my quarantine bubble, sorry everyone!
