Top Comments- Confession: I Am Prone to Both Injury/Illness and Luck

Well, it's that time of year again when people start getting winter bugs and illnesses, and that is always such a great time.  Brillig alerted me on Tuesday that Wednesday was World Pneumonia Day and I couldn't have been more excited to learn that. She mentioned it because I was kvetching about the proliferation of holidays celebrated in schools and she wanted to be sure I had it on my calendar.

I did not have that on my calendar, but the conversation was serendipitous because I coincidentally have been out sick since Wednesday. TI'm pretty sure that's not brillig's fault, and it isn't pneumonia but some virus my kid gave me (as opposed to a virus someone else's kid gave me). It came with a nasty canker sore waaaay up in the top back of my right buccal mucosa,  next to the swollen salivary gland. It also came with a fever, a cough and a ringing headache.

Please ignore the used Longhorn-orange kleenex on your way over the fold. I just don't have the energy to pick them up at the moment.
