virii

Tonchan's apparently got not one but TWO viruses!
First of all, she has herpes. HERPES. Not even three yet, and she's got the clap! Well OK, it's not the nasty STD herpes, it's some fairly benign and common summer-flu kinda thing. Gives her a bit of a fever and a sore throat and there ya go. Actually she's getting over the fever.
At least it's not swine flu...though given that she is the Little Boar herself, maybe it IS the swine flu!
But anyway now she's also got the wickedly names toppatsu hosshin. Which in English (well actually Latin) is even scarier: exanthema subitum. Also knows as: A Sudden Rash. This is a flu virus which gives you, well, a sudden rash. [Cue scary music.]
Alas, also amazingly common.
So the little ViruTon is spending another day or two out of school.

Best part is, I woke up this morning feeling sore. Hadn't been to the dojo in a while and probably overdid it at the seminar yesterday...but it don't feel like post-workout soreness. My joints kinda hurt. And I feel hot, yet kinda cold. And my hands are clammy. And I'm not concentrating too well.
So my darling Ton, love of my life and festering carrier of not one but two highly communicable virii has successfully given me a bug.
Punk. She lucky she's cute, or I'd carry a grudge!
