Caught it, of course

 All was well in the beginning. I got up at seven, had a nice breakfast, dressed and drove over the border for the Christmas train and the Christmassy air refreshener Aldi had advertised in the leaflet. Got all plus a few things more. Back home I had another cup of coffee- so much about reducing my daily dosis, but I needed it to stay awake. The heavy rain which had started during night and woke me repeatedly finally turned into a drizzle again, and the sea of water on our street trickled off. Good for the birds, because two cats lay in ambush to catch them, when they were taking their beauty bath. Bird spas are dangerous with so many cats around! I did two batches of cookies, which came out of the oven abysmally looking but are okay in taste. After baking it was cooking lunch then resting then baking again. Son number three called and told us that Matthäus had done a tumble and had been in hospital for getting stitched up. Flavius had done the same yesterday at the zoo. Two boys stitched up now... While I talked with son I noticed that all of a sudden I got a runny nose, and soon after I started coughing. Mission accomplished, Flavius and Cassian have successfully spread their germs. That does not bode well for Christmas. Usually it takes two to three days for me to go into full-blown coughing fits, and three to four weeks until I feel decent again. I hope the baubles and needles will stay on the tree when I am near...
