Through sickness and in health


We are all aware of the dreadful epidemic that hit the US in 2009, the one and only H1N1 (or as my father likes to call it the big HINI)   at the time Alex and I still lived on campus, and with this illness going from student to student.   It was asked of us to let the housing office know if we had it so they had a count…. So we thought.   So one night Alex wakes up with a temp. and all the sighs of the big hini.   So I call the housing office the next day to let them know.  Shortly after I began to get ill and soon Alex and I were to worthless balls of sick.  So we call the housing office again to let them know. The response was insane!   They taped a sign on the door that read… “This house hold if infected with H1N1. Stay away at all cost.”  A count my bum! Well after about two weeks of icky sickly nasty Alex and I found the strength to go back to School and Work.
     After being treated as lepers it was nice to get back into the real world and not confined in our little apartment watching the fake “real world.”   And I love Alex soooo much but there is only so much sick man one can handle.   Is it just me ladies or do men act like it is the end of the world when they are sick! Anyhow, it was a wild ride and I would not do it again!
