Yet another week comes to a close, and this week was probably one of the least productive I have had in months. Bug was sick Monday night, and decided that sickness is much better when it is savoured slowly..as in ALL WEEK. She is home again today, but thankfully her fever has not reappeared since midnight last night, so fingers are crossed. Man-Child on the other hand has been nursing his cough for a few weeks, which is normal with his asthma this time of year. That is until yesterday. The "bark" as we lovingly named his cough is worse. MUCH worse...and his inhalers are done. SO today, we are of to see our family doctor. We LOVE Dr. Jamie. I have been with her since she opened her practice-almost 20 yrs. She is warm, genuine and cares about her patients. She is also a Mom, and will listen to our Mom like intuitions. She never makes me feel like I am over reacting when it comes to my kids. I have never been told she is too busy, and she started evening office hours recently to help with the ever changing schedules of working parents.
So BOTH kids are home today. On a Friday. On a day that I was REALLY hoping to get some writing done. I had such a nice word buffer when Nanowrimo started, and this week dealing with a clingy sick Bug has seen that word buffer slip away... She is using my laptop to keep occupied, and to do her own Nano, which SHE has been able to keep up with. Perhaps when we are back from the doctor's today I will be able to pry my computer back for a bit. I am not behind, in the must-do-1667-words-a-day sense, but today unless I write I will be officially behind. I see a writing marathon in my future.
And to round up the title, here is Lord Stanley of Wilsonworld, taking part in our Halloween festivities. He normally hides that night, too many people for his liking, but when we were setting up the coffin, he thought it was a nice place to hang out and watch. Perhaps next year we can get him to dress up as a black cat?
