Murphy's law

As I finished up in Day Care last Wednesday, the manager reminded me that we would have a big group to host this week with extra people coming down from the Central Coast for the day. She jokingly warned me not to be off sick as my services would be required.

At the time I wondered whether her joke would jinx me and sure enough on Monday evening I noticed the tell tale signs of a runny nose and irritated throat. Yesterday I was in full cold mode so got myself to bed early and rugged up to sweat the cold away.

I'm a bit better this morning but still have symptoms and will have to keep my distance. I won't be too popular if my cold spreads through the group.
