Sick, sick and sick again

It's probably not surprising that I'm blogging less now that I'm at the office full time. But the real reason is that, out of four weeks at work, the family has been ill for three. Last week everyone except for me had the flu - that was fun. Did I mention that this included the weekends, so that I didn't get any rest? Now my husband is traveling for work (barely on his feet, though), and my youngest two are back at daycare (very snotty, though), and my eldest is still at home with the babysitter with mild fever. And me? I'm at the office, doing what I wanted to do: work. And still enjoying it! If I'd be at home, I would have been at home with one ill child or another for four weeks now. Without a moment of rest. And now? I bike to work (=sport), I have a nice lunch (=not just sandwiches), I meet lots of people (=social life), I get to do a lot of thinking and writing and meetings (=intellectual challenge), and I feel like I'm doing something useful (=purpose), and am valued (=self-worth). And I can go to the bathroom ALL ON MY OWN!
