ME TOO! I had all the plans.... What a waste of fun time.

I came back from my last vacation with a bad cold that lingered for a month. Ugh, the worst.

(I had so many plans to come back rested and productive)

Why is this collectively happening to us?

I am so this cat. I'm quite worried...I have a trip planned next week. I think I'm doomed.

Oh no! I'm cursing I didn't get the flu shot. I booked to get one a couple of months ago at work and promptly got sick, so cancelled. Then never got around to it. Now here we are. In devastation town. Population: me Hope you don't get sick! If you can share, where you going?

Commiserations! Why is this evil thriving? Do our immune systems not know we wanted to have a GOOD time during time off?

SAME. And honestly it's not even just for vacation travel, it hits on weekends like clockwork when I have rest weekends scheduled. JERK IMMUNE SYSTEM.

So of course I woke up with the beginning of a cold.
Has this happened to you?
It's partly due to public travel (increased exposure to others with cold & flu) & partly a cognitive bias that we notice our sickness when we take a break
