Shoes are removed at the back door. HIs old boots stink like cat pee from the old g/fs house, so I wont let them inside. They are still great boots and steel toe, so we cant throw them away, and even tho we have really cleaned them, the cats still hover around them. So, no shoes in the house. He gets fresh socks at least 2x a day. his sheets are washed at least 1x a week, and we throw kleenex away, we dont lay them on tables, or put them back in our pockets. It has helped greatly to just get him into the habit of washing his hands before he does a single thing past taking off his boots.

I dont think I could do another run of this for a long time.

Thanks for the great tips.

I was sick for the most of spring semester with a bad cold that turned into a sinus infection plus an upper respiratory infection. I remember I had it for about three weeks, recovered for about two weeks, and then was sick for another three weeks. I hope this year is kinder to me. Stomach bug is going around here, plus a lot of the students are coughing and sniffling. Another thing I am looking forward to when I retire -- not being around sick students!

oh God Barb, you have my nightmare job. I dont envy having to be around every cold, flu and virus that comes and goes down the hall way.

I hope your tummy is doing better.
