I sneezed seven times today.

Normally this wouldn’t be a fact that I’d share, but it’s extra special. I usually sneeze once a day, if that. So when the number of sneezes gets close to double digits, I know that something is coming. And by something, I mean a cold.

This could be that I’ve been significantly stressed out the last few weeks. It could be because I don’t have a good winter jacket and walked around East Lansing a crap load without proper gear. It could be that I go outside sans jacket and hat. It could also be that I spent the weekend with two young children who seemed to be getting sick or getting over being sick.

No matter what the reason, I’m convinced something funky is going on inside my body. What my body doesn’t realize is that I simply can’t afford to get sick right now. I know that I’m due and tis the season, but look at my calendar. Between work, clinic shifts and school I have very little free time to spend being sick. It doesn’t help any that my health insurance expires on Friday. And honestly, I’d rather not be sick when I don’t have a cute guy to take care of me. And while I know he loves me, I doubt he’d fly here for a cold

So body, you’re not getting sick. You just think you are. You were trying to trick me but I’m onto you now. No sickness. No way. I could possibly squeeze something in after January 5, 2008, so if you could just hold off, that’d be great.

I was out with my friends a couple weeks ago and I sneezed. They all just stared at me. When I said “what?” they all said that they had never heard me sneeze before! That’s when I realized I really don’t sneeze very often at all. 7 in one day is unheard of!

You are a goddess. Sneezing three times in a row makes you a saint. Seven makes your godly.

Man I sneeze 7 times on average, haha. Makes it hard to know when I’m actually getting sick. Hope you’re not getting sick!
