My girlfriend came down with a cold last week. After a few days I was still uncontaminated, and I started mentally bragging to myself on what a remarkably strong immune system I have, and what an awesome human with awesome genes I am. Before I could even say the word “jinx”, the cold hit me hard, and I’ve been under the weather since… for about 5 days now. It’s finally starting to lighten up (knock on wood), so I might even go outside tomorrow. At least I’ve been getting a lot of work done. As the old swedish proverb teaches us, “Nothing bad happens that doesn’t bring anything good with it”. How strange it sounds in english.
