At first on Thursday I thought it was allergies (although I seldom have alllergy issues) so I bought some Claritin which seemed to help. By Saturday it was a full-blown cold and I’d already infected a bunch of family. I stayed at the RV on Sunday to avoid infecting anyone else. Today it is moving down into my chest. Last time we came to Seattle I was sick. What’s with this place, anyhow? One bad thing is the magic anti-cough elixer from Belgium is at home. I didn’t even think to bring it, so today my gut hurts from coughing. Not fun!

We’re headed south on Interstate 5 and will be in a campground near Canon Beach for the next few days. I can just as easily be sick here as at home, so the vacation continues. I also have a dentist appointment this afternoon as a temprary crown has come off (again). The dentist office will be getting a dose of my germs this afternoon…. Share the wealth. That’s my mantra today!
