Oh my you must live in the same area as me. Three nursing homes in my county with norovirus, and numerous schools in neighboring counties. I have been a wreck for weeks. The holidays make me super anxious. I have four kids, three of them in school. Luckily they are off this week, but my husband of course goes to work and we have to go to the grocery store every other day ugh! I avoid taking the kids to the store as much a possible this time of year. I also equate Black Friday and the crowded stores throughout the holiday season with germs!
I am 43 and have been an emet since I was 2. I haven't been this anxious in a long time. We are big hand washers, and my hands are cracked from doing it so much.
I feel like that awful virus is on every surface just waiting to get us. My 2 year old was due for a well check up on October and I am scared to make the appt because of the noro outbreak I keep hearing about. I am wreck.
