Can’t get sick

Last week, I talked to a bunch of colleagues about summer plans, and I mentioned several times how nice it is to be starting summer feeling well for a change.  (I’ve had some rough spring/summers in recent years.)  Then yesterday afternoon, I was dead tired and thought, “Oh, it’s just the fatigue from the semester catching up with me.”  And this morning, I woke up with a sore throat that is only getting worse as the morning goes along.

So, here’s my plea to the germ that wants to have some fun in my body this week.  I can’t get sick now because I am working a long day today, have plans tonight, am giving a final exam tomorrow, and speaking at the math camp on Thursday.  And then I can’t get sick later this week because I am having my picture taken on Friday, am planning to see either “Evening” or “Ratatouille” at the theater this weekend (and I almost never plan to go see movies when they are new), and I have a super important 2nd birthday party to attend on Sunday.

So, little germ, you might want to leave me alone because you’re making me very crabby.
