I want to thank you for introducing our family to the one cold germ we haven’t yet experienced. Gnat got a runny nose on Wednesday; by the end of the day everyone had the tell-tale scratchy throat, and now the claw of another cold has fastened itself around my windpipe, thrust its beak up my nose. This one feels mild, though. Yes, I’ve had so many this past year I’m an expert at discerning the minute details, the subtle bouquets and hues and gradations of congestion. Ah - ocular graininess, bilabial dryness, verdant lung oysters of palpable viscosity; I’d say it’s rhinovirus IX-34.
I volunteered for this one. I could have avoided it. If I hadn’t kissed my daughter goodnight, or if I’d hosed my hands with disinfectant every time I swabbed her runny nose, or if I’d turned away when she wanted to give me a hug, I’d have been fine. But those things aren’t in the job description.
So here we go again.
