Chicken pox 2.0
So I'm sitting at home, diagnosed with chicken pox, all scratchy itchy, but not really all that sick. This is the 2nd time that I have it and it is supposed to be impossible (one should be immune after the first time, so it's not chicken pox either then or now). I'm banned from going to work for a week (!), because of the grave danger that I pose to everyone else around me. I have set up my computers so that I can browse the web while lying in a hammock. Otherwise I'm bored. Not like I could go shopping or to an art gallery without putting the society at risk!
I didn't feel quite right already on the weekend. But we still went driving North, looking for a sunny patch in the sky (and found it!). We took our snorkeling masks and wetsuites with us, just in case, and sure enough we ended up snorkeling at the Goat Island! You can just jump into the water off the rocks and immediately hover over amazing kelp forests while huge snappers swim after you. It was very windy, so the water was quite murky on Sunday. It was still good, even with chicken pox. We're coming back one day. Definitely!

Thank you thank you for your comments. So far only 2 people said that one can get chicken pox 2nd time! In any case, tomorrow I should be going back to work after 1 week of lovely sunny weather, lying in a hammock and reading books... The break was well deserved chicken pox or not!!!
It's unusual to have it twice, but not impossible. The fact that you are just a bit itchy a not really that sick is probably because of that - usually if grown-ups get it, you'd be down with it hard. Hope you feel better soon - and don't get too bored!
Giedrute, vejaraupiais tikrai du kartus nesergama, gal kokia alergija? Ar temperaturos turi daug?- ir kaip tada suprasti nardyma juroje???
Parasyk man laiskeli, kazko senokai negaunu.
