The daycare illness merry-go-round

in

It’s been a year of constant illness for the smallest member of the house, likely as a rebound to last year’s lockdown (to some degree anyway). Latest on the menu is the glorious Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease; turns out I’m also one of the rare few lucky adults who can develop symptoms. 39.8 fever? Check. Hundreds of blisters? Oh, big check. So many blisters in fact that I can’t currently distinguish hot from cold with my fingertips (it’s all just pain).

Sexy AF.

The spreadsheet is ready. Let the blood-letting begin.
