The third plague of 2025…

Won’t go away.

Two weeks ago, I posted about my plan to write something new. The next day my son became very ill. Two days after that, my husband and I fell ill within an hour of each other. Luckily, our almost-eighteen-year-old didn’t catch it as well. He cleaned the house and took care of all three of us through the worst of it. During the next few days we slowly improved, so my teen took youngling to his basketball game. The exercise set the young one back and he was ill again that night. Three days later, my teenager was sick with the same virus—likely norovirus—and it’s awful!

Meanwhile, I started physical therapy for my herniated disc and the hubs started his PT for his shoulder. He is still in a sling from recent surgery and will be for several more weeks. All this to say the Greens have been struck with a plague that won’t go away, and zero writing has been accomplished. I read some books, and when that became difficult, I listened to more audiobooks. Here’s hoping everyone is healthy again soon and I can write down the few things I brainstormed last week while caring for unwell people (and myself).
