Well, today was rough.
Last night I started feeling a bit odd at 9 p.m. or so, like I had a frog in my throat, so I assumed I was going to come down with the cold that first Laila and then![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee had. But then in the middle of the night, I started sweating profusely and my stomach started gurgling, and, well. I thought it was something I had eaten, maybe the sandwich I bought at the work canteen, but the next morning when I woke up after having called off work--sashagee having kindly let me sleep in for a couple hours--it turned out that both she and Laila were also feeling bad in the exact same way. And the air outside was bad, so we didn't go anywhere, we didn't do anything, we just sat around in the morning and Laila watched Bluey and we mostly avoided eating anything. And then by the afternoon, we were basically back to normal again with only a bit of lingering bleh feeling.
I only write about this because it came on all of us nearly at the same time. Usually Laila gets sick first, thensashagee, and then me (and not always me). This time it was sashagee, then Laila, then me, and all within hours of each other. And then gone again by the next day.
I bet we have a lot more of this to look forward to when Laila starts school in a couple weeks(!).
