Disease

I don't like getting sick. I don't do it often either, generally only about once a year.

Which surprises me, as I've already been sick once this year.

I blame this unplanned illness on my recent hospital admission.

Having inhabited a germ-free environment for so long, my immune system had basically gone to shit. The moment I returned to the petri dish of infection known as my house, I got sick.

Damn and blast.
