Still ill

I've got another damn fever. I was ready to go hiking the last two mornings in a row but I woke up with a fever both days. So I'm stuck at home yet again today. It's so frustrating for me to be too ill to hike so often. I wonder if most people get sick this often? I think most of it comes from my grade school aged child. I have another child who has not yet started school so perhaps I have many many years of being ill ahead of me.
