Welp, Scott managed to pick up a case of shingles and a cold on Monday—which is terrible timing given the number of tasks that remain before we leave. The shingles is especially frustrating, as he twice asked to add it to our slew of travel vaccinations, but was told he didn’t qualify for it yet".t

Shingles can be insanely debilitating. I hope that isn’t the case here, but it’s definitely nothing to trifle with. Its effects don’t respect schedules either.

@markstoneman it’s been painful, but not yet debilitating. But we leave in a week on a 100-day trip around the world, which includes countless flights and warm, sweaty weather…which probably won’t make this feel any better /:
