Writing when down with a Cold?

Sadly I have succumbed to a head-chest cold and spent a good deal of my day so far in bed. This is despite all precautions; washing my hands like a surgeon, soaking in hand sanitizer and wiping my keyboard, mouse and phone down with Lysol wipes. What started as a slight sore throat has culminated in the frog-throat voice, stuffed head and dry cough of a full blown bout with Rhinovirus.  Considering my day job as a Computer Technician visiting dozens of desks with their questionably clean keyboards and mice, it was bound to happen. I just wish it had been Later as opposed to Sooner!  Labelled as the “common cold”, this personal affliction is entirely uncommon in its ability to slow me down and affect my daily routine.  No wonder with the current worldwide epidemic of CoVid-19 (Corona Virus), the folks disaster-prepping their 5+ cases of Kirkland TP looked anxiously my way at every cough during my usual weekly supply run at Costco.  As I sit here at my freshly sanitized keyboard, it struck me that this should be an opportunity to jot down some truly wordsmith worthy notes on the human condition for my next article lead magazine submission.  Not so Much.  The best I can muster is a few minutes pouring out my current state of discomfort in this Blog post.

Beset with aches, pains, coughing and a runny nose I’m heading back to bed to recuperate as we have company coming this weekend for a dinner party and I have to be non-contagious before our guests step in the front door.  My family will most likely send a Hazmat team to clean my desk area once I’m safely ensconced in my bed under some warm covers.

Here’s wishing you all continued good health and suggesting a quick investment in hand-sanitizer stock!
