There've been a bugs going around these moments of the year so catching something isn't unexpected. I work in a grocery chain and at times I do catch whatever's floating around! I just hope I don't catch anything before finals because that would suck big time. I know for a fact that cold weather tends to bring people into close proximity, especially around warm spots like busses, trollies, trains, coffee shops, restaurants, libraries, classrooms, and other heated areas, which is why illness usually jump from person to person. Personally, I have a grudge against sick people venturing into those areas given that some lack consideration by coughing all over the place and increasing the odds of others acquiring something god awful. I at least take comfort in knowing that my hand sanitizer bottles have saved me on more than one occasion! Regarding posting, no progress on the laptop, which means, I will be drafting new rewrites today. Expect a long post for the time skip in the near future and please excuse the absence in posting material ...
