Winter is cold and flu season, but Rusty and I have been suffering from an ailment that has not been seen in such severity since the strain out of Beijing in 2008. I am speaking, of course, of Olympic fever. Could you be at risk? Look for these warning signs and symptoms:Loss of sleep- when Olympic coverage goes past bedtime
Seeing spots- of gold, silver, and bronze
Ringing of the ears- which sounds a lot like cow bells
Dizziness- from watching athletes spin, twirl, twist, jump, and flip
Loss of interest- in activities and shows usually enjoyed
Increase in appetite- because those Chicken McNugget commercials are very effective
Moodiness- emotions range from anxiety, hope, disappointment, pride, and patriotism
There is no cure for Olympic fever. It must run its course, but expect your life to return to normal in about a week.
