I knew day care was going to get us sick, but this much and this early? Breezed right through all our flu shots.

I'm declaring a restart to this new start Friday. And am going to kick it off with exercise if I can stand without trembling.

We bailed out of a family get-together over the holidays because it would involve daycare kids, which normally we'd endure, except that one of us (at the time) was only 4 weeks old. One of these daycare cousins has had overlapping low-grade illnesses for 18 months. His nickname should be Petri. Or Vector. He's been sniffling for most of his life. He'll probably have a kickass immune system when he makes it to grade-school, though, so whatever.

Anyway, as predicted, Vector got everyone else at the gathering sick. But the reach of the daycare germ is long. Even though we didn't go, it piggybacked to an uncle, then to my in-laws, and then finally made its way to our place last week. Flu shots didn't do shit. The only positive thing I can say is that by time it did get to us, my youngest was about 7 weeks and it seemed to bounce off him pretty well. (Ironically, Vector's mother is some kind of public health researcher.)
