Chicago, I realize when we talked about moving in together, you mentioned that "higher rates of infectious disease" were a likely possibility. And believe me, I understand - more people, more public contact, and especially a colder climate were all factors. I weighed the risks, and I took what prophylactic measures I could before taking the plunge - I even got a flu shot for the first time in years.

But seriously? You couldn't wait to give me your first cold until it was - I don't know - actually cold outside? Sniffling and coughing and sneezing when it's 75 degrees out just feels wrong, somehow.
