better half?.I was really ill last week, like deathly ill, ok so maybe deathly is a bit of an exaggeration, but I was feeling rather sick. And when I am sick, I tend to regress into a needy 2 year old who wants only to complain and be cared for, which obviously does not happen, unless you consider caring for yourself being “cared for”.
My dear husband has a serious “infection phobia” (infectiphobia?), so getting him to even touch me while I am sick is a huge challenge…
me: Hey, I feel really ill, can you hug me?
dh: Umm, you’re sick!
me: Ya, I know, hence the hug, please?
dh: Umm, I don’t think so, I don’t want to get sick, and why do you have to behave like you’re dying?
me: I could be dying, you don’t know…
dh: You’re NOT dying!
me: But if I was dying, you’d so regret not hugging me!
dh: Ok, whatever, just go sleep!
Then I did what any cunning 2 year old would, I waited the 3 seconds that it took for him to fall asleep, and then I got “cuddly” close so that his only reflex would be to hug me! Me: 1 DH: 0 ha!
That’s too funny! Does DH read your blog? He might be disinfecting himself as i type.

Thoughts from sf
My youngest was sick last week, she now passed it to me and I feel so tired and miserable. Am opposite of you, when sick, I don’t want anyone coming close to me or even talking to me! My sister loves all the attention she can get when she’s sick,she wants everyone to know that she’s sick and sit near the bed asking her if she needs anything, hehehehe. I guess we are all different. Now, my oldest sounds sick too, sigh,,,,,dh says he feels sick too, I hope it passes soon coz I know the cycle has just begun. I hope you feel better soon.
