She's a sweet lady.
It's hilarious - - she grunts and burps all the time. Well, now it's even worse because her grunts cause her to have to cough.
I need a shower - - forget that I need a hazmat suit!

Does she think you can't make it through the day without her? Or what?

She's in a different group than I am, but she pretty well is the rudder of this ship. I honestly don't have to worry too much about her because she's never at her desk.
She takes a smoke break every hour and then between then she's going around the whole floor doing "stuff" - not sure exactly what all that is.
If you want to know anything, she's the one to ask. And, don't dare say anything about needing something, she'll go get it and have it on your desk in minutes.
We moved here in Oct and one of my lights under my shelf didn't work, she went and got one out of another cube and replaced it while I was gone to lunch. LOL!

Well she sounds generally like a very nice person!

She is, but nice doesn't have anything to do with being sick! LOL!
She's gone now. I hope she gets some good rest and stays home tomorrow.

You won't hear about this on the 6:00 news, but thought I would share it with you anyway....
Try taking some Oil of Oregano, at least 1-2 drops once a day, perhaps more. It is the most effective flu and illness buster we've ever tried.
My son came home from school last week with sore throat, cough, headache and diarrhea... the whole nine yards. He was feeling miserable. We tried a dose of OoO - 2 drops in 1/8 cup juice. Within a couple of hours, he was out of bed and moving around.... no more diarrhea, and no more headache either. Went to school the next day, and has been fine since.
You can find it on Amazon.... my kids don't like the taste of it, but willingly take it now, because they have not been sick... while many of their friends have been out sick for days because of the flu.

Could I just eat some pizza with lots of sauce (and oregano)? LOL!
I've never heard of that, but it sounds like it worked for your son!

One of my daycare kids has been sick, sick, sick. His mom finally took him to the doctor. They tested him for the flu and said he does not have it. Said it's "just a virus". She asked about daycare and pre-school and was told by the doctor, "Well, it's just a virus" So she brought him to me!! I had him for less than an hour when he spiked a fever of 102.4. So I called and told her to come get him. I cannot have Walt exposed to all these things and I've told all of my families that. I know it's going to happen. Kids will get sick in the middle of the day and no one knew it was coming. I get that. But to COME HERE sick??? How inconsiderate!

Yea, that's always a hard call. The doctor told my DIL that about Mattie and said she could go back to daycare - - I didn't think she really should.
