yes, I mind...

So here goes my first post, and a rant at that... For Goodness' sakes! Do not come to visit if you are visibly sick! It freaks me out, OK?? And for good reason! Yes I know I am over-reacting. Still, I really wish you didn't cause me any unnecessary stomack ulcers, if iyou can help it.

Reason for all this: Bee, our good (and childless) friend came over today. She was coughing like there's no tomorrow. She nonchalantly mentioned that she has been doing this for 3 weeks straight now, but thought nothing of visiting us, go figure. I really don't know how to handle situations like this. I wanted to boot her out right there, but we haven't met for a long time, she didn't do this on purpose, just doesn't know any better; she is going through a divorce now, too. I wanted to be a good (or at least tolerable) friend. BUT, my first responsibility should be Bubu, so why the heck didn't I do something?! Now, Andras on the other hand, didn't hesitate a bit to offer her a surgical facemask, being that we are a family with way too many doctors here. I felt awkward, but thought this to be a good idea (still better than throwing her out, at least!) What does she say? "No thanks, I feel like I can't breathe if I wear those!"
Arrggh!!! I want to kick myself now for not insisting on it. Bubu has a temperature now; had to give him some Motrin, and he can't sleep now. I could have prevented this. I am such a freakin' wuss. Have a lot to learn, I have - to say this with Master Yoda's words.
