And so it begins... again...

Welcome to my PostHope page.  I plan to use this page to keep my friends and family updated on my condition as I battle this latest bout of Nick Plague.  For those who aren't familiar with my history with this debilitating disease, you can read the About page for some background info, but for those who are, you can imagine how devastating it was for me to wake up with a sore throat this morning, three days after seeing Nick in Chicago... the perfect incubation period for the Plague.

I thought I had taken the proper precautions by bringing and using my I'm Taking Off Nick Carter's Germs hand sanitizer and avoiding contact with Nick's hands, but now I know I should have also avoided hugging him without the protection of a mask and gloves.  He had obviously been sick himself; within two minutes of taking the stage for soundcheck, he'd already coughed into his hand, wiped his nose on his sleeve, and snorted a wad of snot back up into his nose.  But how could I resist him?  Oh Nick Carter... you are my kryptonite.  If I survive this, I'll wear a Hazmat suit to the next show, but it's too late for me now.  I am definitely getting sick.

It was "Sports Day" at school today for spirit week, so I got to wear jeans and a hoodie to work.  That helped some, but even so, I felt feverish and fatigued all day.  Now that I'm home, I can't wait to go to bed.  Hopefully I can sleep this off and feel better tomorrow.  Please pray for a speedy recovery!
