Last week I was cranky (See last week’s blog post). I am still cranky.  My son shared his flulike cold with me.  Some things are not meant to be shared.

I went back to work yesterday with some coughing and sneezing still going on.  Shortly after getting seated on the LIRR, I had a profound realization. I was that person other commuters do whatever they can to avoid.  You know what I am talking about. The one who you worry is going to share their germs, whether unintentionally or not.  Seriously, as commuters paused in the aisle then kept moving, I realized that the empty seat next to me was probably the only empty seat in the car.

I think I am going to try some of your suggestions from last week for relieving this cranky mood.
