Germs, Germs Everywhere!

For those of you who know me - I kinda have a germ thing. I mean growing up above a funernal home can do that to a person! It's just good common sense - washing hands, avoiding touching things you don't have to, using your shoulder instead of your hands to open doors, etc. (by now, Katie is totally laughing at me!)

So it sucks even more when you get sick - because you think you've been prudent in your germ avoidance. Turns out I needed another batch of medication to get rid of the Tonsillitis. And while my immune system was low fighting the first batch, good ole' Broncittis decided to take up residency in my chest to make matters worse.

This sickness has given pause to my way of germ thinking. Maybe I shouldn't care so much. Maybe the open peanuts at the bar aren't really that dirty and pee-contaminated? Maybe I should lick things that look tastey and throw caution to the wind. Maybe that is the solution? And then I regain my senses and think EEWWW Yuck!

So here's a song I found to get you thinking about the germs in your life. I know it's helping me beat this illness like a pimp beats his cheating ho. Words to inspire you when you're sick next....

Germs, germs, germs, much too small to see,
Germs, germs, germs, always inside of me.
Germs, germs, germs, much too small to see,
Germs, germs, germs, always inside of me.

We can help make ourselves healthy If we wash our hands. We also wash our bodies—But what if a germ lands?
Inside our bodies, White blood cells are our aid. When they see a germ, They fight to make it go away.

Look at that tiny virus Thinking we don’t see it. Go white blood cell. Make me better. Find that virus. Fight it!
Look at that bacteria. I think it wants to hurt me. Go white blood cell. Fight that germ So that I feel healthy.

Germs, germs, germs, much too small to see,
Germs, germs, germs, always inside of me.
Germs, germs, germs, much too small to see,
Germs, germs, germs, always inside of me.

Why is it that most people think it is weird to have a germ phobia? Germs are nasty we should be afraid!

Hi Louise...why don't you ask Scott what kind of germs he thinks turtles have?
