Sensitive

Most of the time I love the fact that Dave is always so honest.  I know where he stands about all things.  Normally I can take the brutal honesty with a grain of sand but today I must be overly sensitive.  I guess I didn't expect it or ask for it and therefore wasn't prepared to hear what I already know to be the truth.  More than that, it's affected me entirely.  My whole mood has shifted.  I'm upset but I don't want to show it.  I value Dave's honesty and I don't want to "punish" him for providing it.  Still, I'm at a loss as to how to handle it within me.  My hope is that by the time I wake up tomorrow I'll be more reasonable and less emotional.

I was supposed to visit Katie today but I woke up with this sore throat.  I thought it was just dry at first.  My allergies can cause that pretty regularly but no matter how much water I tried to swallow, that ache still persisted.   It's not bad really.  More annoying than anything.  I can still talk, eat, drink, and swallow without much pain.  Otherwise, I feel okay and I went to work.  But there is a little boy in the mix now.  I don't think I could ever forgive myself if I went to visit knowing that I could be sick and have him catch it.  How do the newborn nurses do it?  I mean, they must go to work somewhat sick like the rest of us.  Are they just not allowed contact with the babies?  Or maybe I'm just overly worried about it.  I don't know but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

Hopefully, I'll be able to see her later in the week though.
