A Bad Weekend

Hi Kenji--

How was your weekend? Mine was a disaster!

Saturday morning I came down with a headache and a sore throat. I felt nauseous and dizzy and went to bed. I just ached all over.

On Sunday, I noticed that I had a rash on my stomach. At first I thought that I had insect bites, but I had a fever of over 100°. By the end of the day, I had spots all over my face.

Finally, I figured it out--I had chicken pox! I’m too old for this!

Hope your weekend was a lot better than mine!

--Ron
