The previous week\’s cold made me realize how anyone reading this blog could easily think that SwingBot and I frequently are sick or injured. This is not true, though sure has been that way lately.
I suffer hay fever during late spring and early summer and sometimes I have a period day bad enough to make me rest for much of the day. Beyond that, I tend to not get ill. When I do, though, it hits me hard. I would estimate that I might get sick about once every two years… typically on the tail end of some nasty bug that SwingBot got. For example, I think I was last sick two or three years ago, showing symptoms just as SwingBot started to recover.
He probably gets ill about twice a year… certainly at least once a winter and often at some point during the spring or summer. It used to be worse when he had to travel for a living. Then, he would often succumb to a nasty virus or sinus infection upon his return. His hobbies may lead to harm, like broken bones, burns, or nasty cuts… often in unexpected ways.
Still, these instances are not as commonplace as they have been lately. Obviously, I do not routinely go in for sterilization surgery, like I had to do (twice) this past autumn. SwingBot does not typically injure himself so many times as he has recently. There just seems to be this inconvenient timing. \”You want to be in good shape to do lots of kinky stuff? Too bad! Break a bone! Have a cold!\”
What an impression for potential swinging partners. \”Sure, we\’d like to meet. Oh, no, Mr. broke a joint, so not right now. How about… no, Mrs. is going in for surgery that week. Okay, we can meet now. Nope, gotta cancel; we are sick now.\”
