Ick

Yesterday at the nursing home, I was visiting with Malina. She's hard of hearing, so I leaned in close to her ear to ask her a question. When she turned her head to answer me, I forgot to move back out of the saliva zone.

It took me all day to stop dry-heaving every time I thought about a 90-year-old woman spitting on my nose, lips, and in my eyes.

Next week I'm wearing one of those salad bar sneeze guards over my head.

A fireman's helmet might work. Plus, it looks nifty and you don't have to worry about people with tongs.

Geriatric spittle ... nice. I don't feel so good. And I just ate too. (Mhmf!)
