Me: They can play teenagers in Beverly Hills 90210.
Lily: They can do anything! They can fly without wings!
Me: Wow!
Lily: They can lift up trees!
Me:They must be very strong!
Lily: They can go in the pool naked!
Me: Err...
Jen: I don't think that's actually a super power.
I rallied a bit on Saturday, but not completely. Jen got Lily from Aunt Lori's and I told Lily that I could only kiss her on the top of the head because I was still sick. Lily threw me 100 "Love Bags" (imaginary little presents) and she said that each one was full of doctor's supplies to help me feel better. I managed to keep some food down, but my throat was really raw.
Jen did a wonderful job taking care of me when I was sick. She picked up a really nifty thermometer too. She played CSI with Lily to give me a little time to rest.
"What do you think, honey? Who whacked Rainbow Brite?" |
I was feeling somewhat better on Sunday. Lily was curious about different parts of the eye, and I was able to answer some of her questions. (Jen is probably not pleased that I used sclera. I think it's a neat word, though.)
Sunday night, I went back to feeling very sick at night. I think I said to Jen that my throat felt like it was full of knives. I was trying to decide if I wanted to come into work or schedule a doctor's appointment. I decided that with a dentist appointment coming up later in the week, I couldn't afford to miss any time. I can barely talk, and I'm still feeling sick, but I came in so I could lick doorknobs and sneeze on the bagels here.
