I am Once Again a Snivelling Wretch

[chomiji]

I came back from Katsucon about 3:00pm on Sunday, and by midnight (despite a nap) felt wretched and was going through Kleenex like I had most of my savings sunk into their stock. There followed low-grade fever (100-101°F) and really nasty aching muscles that made it torture to go up and down the stairs - it felt like I was carrying a 40-lb. pack. Now I'm just tired and still sniffling a bit. But the Young Lady has it now, too. Interestingly, she has a higher fever (which is typical of children - but she's not much of a child at this point ...) and hardly any aches.

Feh.

Ouch, your body really doesn't give you a break, does it? I hope you were well enough to enjoy the con at least?
Get better soon!

Actually I caught it at the con, we think. Sanada had it, too!

I was probably courting disaster by going to the con while I was still run down, but I'd been planning it since last year - we signed up for it when we went to Balticon (science fiction con) last summer! One of the problems with the con was, so many people were changing in and out of costumes that the elevators were always jammed and stopped at just about every floor ... plenty of time to swap air and viruses with other people ... .
