sickly

Sometimes during winter I feel sickly and weak. It seems like someone in the family is sick every third week or so. Colds mostly, but today C seems like maybe she's getting something new. Frown, weak cough, whimper, collapse - woe is us. Beware the frumious viral bandersnatch (or would the alliteration of bacterial bandersnatch be better? Jabberwok wasting disease. Vorpal vector?)
