Creeping Crud

Posted at 4:18 pm MST to Miscellaneous

This afternoon my massage therapist called. She said she had the creeping crud, and needed to cancel our appointment this evening.

Coincidentally, I had been thinking that I should call her and ask to cancel. I am past the worst of my own case of crud, I hope, but I still have the Cough from Hell.

It was embarrassing today: I had two phone calls with people in Edinburgh, and could only say a feww sentences at a time before I had a coughing fit. It's just as well they had a few thousand miles of wire separating them from the germs.

Yesterday I seriously considered attending the Democratic Caucus, but it turned out not to be at the Fire House a few blocks from the Costco. It's probably just as well I ended up not attending. A few hours in a crowded room (and according to the news reports all of the sites were very crowded) and this cough might take out the entire 19th precinct.

The radio this morning said more than 150,000 Democrats caucused yesterday in Colorado, and less than 60,000 Replicans. I find that impressive in a state that was considered a Republican stronghold not long ago.

I wish it had been a primary instead of a caucus. Voting, I can do. But I'm not good with crowds even when I am healthy.
